Dot density data merge function Cleans the data and prepares them for dot-density maps

Description

Data at lower aggregation levels may not add up to the more accurate aggregate counts. This function distributes the aggregate level counts proprtionally (by population) to the containing lower leve geographic regions.

Usage

proportional_re_aggregate(
  data,
  parent_data,
  geo_match,
  categories,
  base = "Population"
)

Arguments

data	The base geographic data (sp or sf format)
parent_data	Higher level geographic data (sp format)
geo_match	A named string informing on what column names to match data and parent_data
categories	Vector of column names to re-aggreagte
base	Column name to use for proportional weighting when re-aggregating
