SPRINGERBRIEFS IN STATISTICS MIXED-EFFECTS MO...

This book provides a self-contained introduction of mixed-effects models and small area
estimation techniques. In particular  it focuses on both introducing classical theory and
reviewing the latest methods. First  basic issues of mixed-effects models  such as parameter
estimation  random effects prediction  variable selection  and asymptotic theory  are
introduced. Standard mixed-effects models used in small area estimation  known as the
Fay-Herriot model and the nested error regression model  are then introduced. Both frequentist
and Bayesian approaches are given to compute predictors of small area parameters of interest.
For measuring uncertainty of the predictors  several methods to calculate mean squared errors
and confidence intervals are discussed. Various advanced approaches using mixed-effects models
are introduced  from frequentist to Bayesian approaches. This book is helpful for researchers
and graduate students in fields requiring data analysis skills as well as in mathematical
statistics.
