Compute various common mean squared predictive error (MSPE) estimators, as well as several existing variance component predictors as a byproduct, for FH model (Fay and Herriot, 1979) and NER model (Battese et al., 1988) in small area estimation.

Implementation of small area estimation (Fay-Herriot model) with EBLUP (Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) Approach for non-sampled area estimation by adding cluster information and assuming that there are similarities among particular areas. See also Rao & Molina (2015, ISBN:978-1-118-73578-7) and Anisa et al. (2013) <doi:10.9790/5728-10121519>.

Combines information from two independent surveys using a model-assisted projection method. Designed for survey sampling scenarios where a large sample collects only auxiliary information (Survey 1) and a smaller sample provides data on both variables of interest and auxiliary variables (Survey 2). Implements a working model to generate synthetic values of the variable of interest by fitting the model to Survey 2 data and predicting values for Survey 1 based on its auxiliary variables (Kim & Rao, 2012) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asr063>.

Implements Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) for Small Area Estimation under Fay Herriot Model. Small Area Estimation is used to borrow strength from auxiliary variables to improve the effectiveness of a domain sample size. This package uses Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP). The Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) are based on transformation by Aitchison J (1986). The covariance matrix for multivariate application is based on covariance matrix used by Esteban M, Lombardía M, López-Vizcaíno E, Morales D, and Pérez A <doi:10.1007/s11749-019-00688-w>. The non-sampled models are modified area-level models based on models proposed by Anisa R, Kurnia A, and Indahwati I <doi:10.9790/5728-10121519>, with univariate model using model-3, and multivariate model using model-1. The MSE are estimated using Parametric Bootstrap approach. For non-sampled cases, MSE are estimated using modified approach proposed by Haris F and Ubaidillah A <doi:10.4108/eai.2-8-2019.2290339>.
