In southwick-associates/sadashreg: Process summary data for national/regional dashboards

Description

Overview of the core functions for each step in dashboard production

1. Prepare summaries using license data (sa-states)

• use run_state to produce dashboard metrics for selected state (which is partly a wrapper for run_group)

• based on the dashtemplate package functions build_history, calc_metrics, and format_metrics

2. Prepare summaries provided directly by states

• use scale_segs if provided segments don't scale to the total.

• use est_residents if resident breakouts weren't provided.

• use est_lm with predict_lm if you need to smooth out artifacts (see 2018-q4 for an example using Florida)

3. Participation rates

• use aggregate_pop to prepare population data for rate calculation.

• use est_rate to estimate participation rates

4. Combine states and Compute National/Regional Metrics

• use agg_region_all to build regional aggregations

• this calls agg_region

Prepare ACS population data for participation rate estimates

• use get_pop to pull the reference state totals from census "popest" data stored in excel files

• use extrapolate_yr to impute demographic estimates based on state-level totals
