saeHB.panel

We designed this package to provide several functions for area level of small area estimation using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) method. This package provides model using Rao-Yu Model for variable interest.This package also provides a dataset produced by a data generation. The “rjags” package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involves the HB estimators which include the mean and the variation of mean. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015) and Torabi and Shokoohi (2012).

Function

• RaoYuAr1() This function gives estimation of y using Hierarchical Bayesian under Rao Yu Model
• Panel() This function gives estimation of y using Hierarchical Bayesian under Rao Yu Model when rho = 0

Installation

You can install the development version of saeHB.panel from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Veliatrimarliana/saeHB.panel")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(saeHB.panel)
data(dataAr1)
formula = ydi ~ xdi1 + xdi2
area = max(dataAr1[, "area"])
period = max(dataAr1[,"period"])
vardir = dataAr1[,4]
result <- Raoyu.Ar1(formula, area, period,  vardir = vardir, data = dataAr1)

Extract area mean estimation

result$Est

Extract coefficient estimation

result$coefficient

Extract area random effect variance

result$refVar
