Description: Adjusts model-based small area estimates so that their weighted
    aggregate agrees with the weighted aggregate of the direct estimates,
    using the difference, ratio, and optimum benchmarking methods described
    in Rao and Molina (2015, ISBN:978-1-118-73578-7) and Wang, Fuller and Qu
    (2008). The mean squared error (MSE) of the benchmarked empirical best
    linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) under the Fay-Herriot model is estimated
    with the second-order approximation or the parametric bootstrap of Steorts
    and Ghosh (2013) <doi:10.5705/ss.2012.053>. The posterior MSE of the
    benchmarked hierarchical Bayes (HB) estimator follows Datta, Ghosh,
    Steorts and Maples (2011) <doi:10.1007/s11749-010-0218-y>.
