fastsae (Q7369040)

Provides high-performance implementations of Small Area Estimation (SAE) methods leveraging C++ ('Rcpp', 'RcppArmadillo') and 'OpenMP' multi-threading. Supports standard area-level Fay-Herriot models (Fay and Herriot, 1979 <doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482505>), Spatial Fay-Herriot models (Pratesi and Salvati, 2008 <doi:10.1002/env.861>), Spatio-Temporal Fay-Herriot models (Marhuenda et al., 2013 <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.01.016>), and unit-level Battese-Harter-Fuller models (Battese et al., 1988 <doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478561>). Features include empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP), analytical and bootstrap Mean Squared Error (MSE) estimation, automatic handling of unsampled domains, and modern S3 diagnostic methods.
