About the Book

An accessible introduction to indirect estimation methods, both traditional and model-based. Readers will also find the latest methods for measuring the variability of the estimates as well as the techniques for model validation. Uses a basic area-level linear model to illustrate the methods Presents the various extensions including binary response data through generalized linear models and time series data through linear models that combine cross-sectional and time series features Provides recent applications of SAE including several in U.S. Federal programs Offers a comprehensive discussion of the design issues that impact SAE

Review :
"...impressive and elegantly written...maintains a high level of mathematical rigour and depth...lucid, self-contained and well-organized..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1026, 2004) “This pioneering work, in which Rao provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of small area estimation, will become a classic...I believe that it has the potential to turn small area estimation...into a larger area of importance to both researchers and practitioners.” (Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2004) "The book is a systematic and economical account of the development of the subject by one of its foremost contributors.” (Short Book Reviews, 2003) "This book will help to advance the subject and be a valuable resource for practitioners and theorists.” (Statistics in Transition, November 2003) "This book is essential to any basic library on small estimation. Both theoretical researchers and practitioners in this subject will certainly appreciate the themes treated in Rao's book.” (Journal of Official Statistics, 2003) "...a textbook on small area estimation, probably the only one presently available on this topic...easy to read and each chapter is illustrated by practical examples." (Mathematical Reviews, 2003j) “...an authoritative and comprehensive account of methods for producing small area estimates by using not conventional direct estimates, but indirect, model-dependent estimates...” (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. LXI, No. 3, September 2003)
