Description: Analyses population health survey data from the World Health
    Organization (WHO) Stepwise Approach to Non-Communicable Disease
    (NCD) Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPS), Demographic and Health
    Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), and
    similar complex sample surveys, where chronic conditions are
    self-reported rather than coded using the International
    Classification of Diseases (ICD) and estimates must account for
    stratification, clustering, and sampling weights. Includes a
    self-reported multimorbidity index based on the Functional
    Comorbidity Index (FCI) described by Groll et al. (2005)
    <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2004.10.018>, design-weighted population
    prevalence estimation via the 'survey' package, a survey-weighted
    concentration index for health inequality analysis, a DHS
    anthropometric z-score categoriser, a choropleth mapping helper, and
    exploratory survey-weighted gradient boosting (via 'xgboost') with
    SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) based explainability. The
    gradient boosting component applies case weights but does not yet
    propagate cluster and strata design effects into variance estimates;
    it should be treated as exploratory rather than as design-based
    inference.
