Session: Innovations in small area estimation methodologies
Time: Tuesday 3rd July, 09:50 - 17:00
Convenors:
Professor Nikos Tzavidis (University of Southampton)
Dr Paul Williamson (University of Liverpool)
Abstract Details
Small area estimation is a research area actively contributing to the production of official statistics in the UK and other countries. This one-day event is devoted to recent developments in small area estimation methods. The event will bring together statisticians, geographers and practitioners from National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) working in small area estimation. The aim of the event is to present both methodological developments and applications and identify future needs. The programme includes presentations from academic researchers and NSI methodologists from the UK, Australia and Brazil that cover a broad range of topics.
