compute_product_err

This serves as a helper function for computing the BISG error estimate.

Performs Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding (BISG) analysis to
obtain probabilistic estimates of race based on surname and geolocation.
This package can be used in tandem with the 'eiCompare' package.
Methods implemented in this package are described in Decter-Frain,
A., Sachdeva, P., Collingwood, L., Burke, J., Murayama, H.,
Barreto, M., … Zingher, J. (2022). "Comparing Methods for Estimating
Demographics in Racially Polarized Voting Analyses" <doi:10.31235/osf.io/e854z>.

<dl><dt>p_g_r</dt>
<dd>A tibble denoting the probability of a geography, given race.
Each row in the tibble denotes a voter.</dd>
<dt>p_r_s</dt>
<dd>A tibble denoting the probability of a racial group, given a
surname. Each row in the tibble denotes a voter.</dd>
<dt>p_g_r_err</dt>
<dd>A tibble denoting the error on the probability of a
geography, conditioned on racial group. Same size as p_g_r.</dd>

<dd>A tibble denoting the error on the probability of racial
group, conditioned on race. Same size as p_r_s.</dd></dl>
