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.
