wtd.quantile

Quick function to estimate weighted quantiles

The R package 'povmap' supports small area estimation of means and
poverty headcount rates. It adds several new features to the 'emdi' package
(see "The R Package emdi for Estimating and Mapping Regionally Disaggregated
Indicators" by Kreutzmann et al. (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i07>).
These include new options for incorporating survey weights, ex-post
benchmarking of estimates, two additional transformations, several new
convenient functions to assist with reporting results, and a wrapper function
to facilitate access from 'Stata'.
