Provides several functions for area level of small area estimation using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) methods with several univariate distributions for variables of interest. The dataset that is used in every function is generated accordingly in the Example. The 'rjags' package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involve the HB estimators which include the mean and the variation of mean. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015) <doi:10.1002/9781118735855>.

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 panel data 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).

Several functions are provided for small area estimation at
    the area level using the hierarchical bayesian (HB) method with panel
    data under beta distribution for variable interest. This package also
    provides a dataset produced by data generation. The 'rjags' package is
    employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involve
    the HB estimators, which include the mean and the variation of the
    mean. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015, ISBN:
