VGMSFH-class: VGMSFH S4 Class

In vmsae: Variational Multivariate Spatial Small Area Estimation

VGMSFH S4 Class

Description

An S4 class to store results from the Variational Gaussian Markov Small Area Estimation with Fay-Herriot model (VGMSFH). This class holds the posterior samples for various model components as well as the original direct estimates.
