Robust Small Area Estimation
Setting Up a SAE Model
Empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP) and robust prediction of the area-level means under the basic unit-level model. The model can be fitted by maximum likelihood or a (robust) M-estimator. Mean square prediction error is computed by a parametric bootstrap.
