		Small Area Population Estimation by Demographics // Automatic
		disaggregation of small-area population estimates by
		demographic groups (e.g., age, sex, race, marital status,
		educational level, etc) along with the estimates of
		uncertainty, using advanced Bayesian statistical modelling
		approaches based on integrated nested Laplace approximation
		(INLA) Rue et al. (2009) doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00700.x
		and stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) methods
		Lindgren et al. (2011) doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2011.00777.x.
		The package implements hierarchical Bayesian modeling
		frameworks for small area estimation as described in Leasure et
		al. (2020) doi:10.1073/pnas.1913050117 and Nnanatu et al.
		(2025) doi:10.1038/s41467-025-59862-4.
