title: 'SurveyNCD: Tools for Self-Reported Health Indicators in Complex Surveys'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.SurveyNCD
abstract: Provides tools for analysing population health survey data (WHO STEPS, DHS,
  MICS, and similar complex sample surveys), where chronic conditions are self-reported
  rather than ICD-coded and estimates must account for stratification, clustering,
  and sampling weights. Includes a self-reported multimorbidity index based on the
  Functional Comorbidity Index (Groll et al., 2005, <https://doi.org/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 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.
