Y Marhuenda, I Molina, D Morales - Computational Statistics & Data …, 2013 - Elsevier
Small area estimation is studied under a spatio-temporal Fay–Herriot model. Model fitting
based on restricted maximum likelihood is described and empirical best linear unbiased …

An Applied Comparison of Area-Level Linear Mixed Models in Small Area Estimation

LN Pereira, PS Coelho - Communications in Statistics-Simulation …, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
This article reviews four area-level linear mixed models that borrow strength by exploiting
the possible correlation among the neighboring areas or/and past time periods. Its main goal …
