A new estimator and approach for estimating the subpopulation parameters
Based on some theoretical results, we recommend a new algorithm for estimating the total and mean of a subpopulation variable for the case of a known subpopulation size, which is different from the algorithm recommended by most of sampling books.

Small area estimation with spatial similarity [PDF]
A class of composite estimators of small area quantities that exploit spatial (distancerelated) similarity is derived. It is based on a distribution-free model for the areas, but the estimators are aimed to have optimal design-based properties.

The Fay–Herriot Model in Small Area Estimation
Standard methods of variance component estimation used in the Fay-Herriot model for small areas can produce problems of inadmissible values (negative or zero) for these variances. This implies that the empirical best linear unbiased predictor of a small

Small area estimation with subgroup analysis
In this article, a new unit level model based on a pairwise penalised regression approach is proposed for problems in small area estimation (SAE). Instead of assuming common regression coefficients for all small domains in the traditional model, the new ...
