We compare a set of empirical Bayes and composite estimators of the population means of the districts (small areas) of a country, and show that the natural modelling strategy of searching for a well fitting empirical Bayes model and using it for estimation of the area-level means can be inefficient
The importance of small area estimation as a facet of survey sampling cannot be over-emphasized. Of ...
Model-based small-area estimation methods have received considerable importance over the last two de...

This dissertation concerns two problems in survey sampling: (a) small-area estimation and (b) estima...
A method of small-area estimation with a utility function is developed. The utility characterises a ...
The sampling designs of the national surveys are usually determined so as to produce reliable estima...
