saeHB.Spatial.Beta
Provides several functions and datasets for area-level Small Area Estimation using the Hierarchical Bayesian (HB) method. Model-based estimators are designed for variables of interest that follow a Beta distribution (proportions bounded between 0 and 1). The package supports both non-spatial and spatial models based on Simultaneous Autoregressive (SAR) and Leroux Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) structures for area-level random effects, with optional survey design effect (DEFF) adjustments for sampling variances. In addition, it provides utility functions for constructing spatial weights matrices and performing spatial autocorrelation diagnostics. The 'runjags' package is used to obtain posterior estimates via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with parallel computing capabilities.
