Fits area-level Hierarchical Bayesian Small Area Estimation models. The methodological foundation follows the standard area-level Small Area Estimation literature, primarily Rao and Molina (2015, ISBN: 9781118735787) <doi:10.1002/9781118735855>, while computational implementation is adapted to the parameterisation and prior-specification conventions of the 'brms' package <doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i01>, which targets the Stan back-end. Supports a principled Bayesian workflow <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2011.01808>, with prior predictive checks, convergence diagnostics, model comparison, spatial random effects, custom distributions, missing-data handling, and a bilingual 'shiny' application for non-programmer analysts.
