Aim and Scope
The main objective of the ISI / IASS Short course is to offer an application-oriented view on Small Area Statistics. The aim is to show how Small Area problems can be approached, implemented and solved with R. The course includes design based methods and Small Area estimators such as Fay-Herriot- and Battese-Harter-Fuller estimator. Furthermore, advanced methods are also considered, such as poverty measures, spatial modeling, and logistic models.
