This function returns a list with one element in it which is the estimate of the variance component in the Fay Herriot Model. The method used to get the estimate is the prasad rao method also known as BLUP.(for details see vignette). Note that our function does not accept any missing values.

response |
a numeric vector. It represents the response or the observed value in the Fay Herriot Model |
designmatrix |

sampling.var |
a numeric vector consisting of the known sampling variances of each of the small area levels. |
