to small area estimation. Area-level and unit-level models. Empirical best linear unbiased prediction. Point estimation. Mean
squared error estimation. Hierarchical Bayes and empirical Bayes methods in small area estimation.


Text. Lectures will be primarily based on the book Small Area Estimation, by J.N.K. Rao, 2003, Wiley. The author has written a
number of research papers and review papers on a number of topics described above. Often lectures will be drawn from research
conducted by the instructor and other researchers in the field. Two recent review articles by the instructor that include a set of
useful references on small area estimation are

(i) Datta, G.S. Model-based small area estimation. To appear in Handbook of Statistics edited by D. Pfeffermann and C.R. Rao, 2009.

(ii) Datta, G.S. and Ghosh, M. (2008). Small area shrinkage estimation.
