eblupFH2R Documentation

EBLUP under stationary Fay-Herriot model for sample and non-sample area

Description

This function gives the EBLUP and the estimate of mean squared error (mse) based on a stationary Fay-Herriot model for both sample and non-sample area.

Usage

eblupFH2(formula, vardir, indicator, method = "REML", MAXITER, PRECISION, data)

Arguments

formula

an object of class list of formula, describe the model to be fitted

vardir

a vector of sampling variances of direct estimators for each small area

indicator

a vector indicating the sample and non-sample area

method

type of fitting method, default is "REML" methods

MAXITER

number of iterations allowed in the algorithm. Default is 100 iterations

PRECISION

convergence tolerance limit for the Fisher-scoring algorithm. Default value is 1e-04

data

a data frame comprising the variables named in formula and vardir

Value

The function returns a list with the following objects:

eblup

a vector with the values of the estimators for each sample area

eblup.out

a vector with the values of the estimators for each non-sample area

mse

a vector of the mean squared error estimates for each sample area

mse.out

a vector of the mean squared error estimates for each non-sample area

sample

a matrix consist of area code, eblup, mse, SE and CV for sample area

nonsample

a matrix consist of area code, eblup, mse, SE and CV for non-sample area

fit

a list containing the following objects:

  • estcoef : a data frame with the estimated model coefficients in the first column (beta),their asymptotic standard errors in the second column (std.error), the t statistics in the third column (tvalue) and the p-values of the significance of each coefficient in last column (pvalue)

  • refvar : estimated random effects variance

  • goodness : goodness of fit statistics

  • randomeffect : a data frame with the values of the random effect estimators

Examples

# Load data set
data(paddy)
# Fit Fay-Herriot model using sample and non-sample part of paddy data
result <- eblupFH2(y ~ x1+x2, var, indicator ,"REML", 100, 1e-04,paddy)
result
