Saving it as a decimal allows comparing the Smoothing Total Rate. If it's stored as an integer, the sum of observed counts will be zero, whereasthe sum of smoothed rates across the grid will be non-zero — leading to inconsistencies.
Thanks, Erika. FYI, we no longer use this code to build our models (we use the mbtk). It’s just kept there for legacy issues. Having said that, you’re welcome to submit a PR if you feel the code can be somehow improved.
