Estimation Tutorials

Green-book Estimators

Learn how calculate population estimates and their sampling errors using the sample-based estimators from Bechtold and Patterson’s (2005), ‘Green-Book’.

Model-Assisted Estimators

Learn how to calculate population estimates and their sampling errors using model-assisted survey estimators from the mase R package (McConville, et al. 2018).

Small Area Estimators

Learn how to calculate population estimates and variance estimates using a suite of small area estimators from packages like JoSAE (Breidenbach 2015), sae (Molina and Marhuenda 2015), and hbsae (Boonstra 2012).
