hbsae-package {hbsae}

A package for hierarchical Bayesian small area estimation.

Description

Package hbsae provides functions to compute small area estimates based on the basic unit-level and area-level models. The models are fit and small area estimates are computed in a hierarchical Bayesian way, using numerical integration.

Details

The main function that does most of the computational work is fSAE.Unit. Function fSAE is provided as a more convenient interface to fSurvReg, fSAE.Area and fSAE.Unit.
