Overview

About

Maintained by Fiona Audia Nauli SihombingCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Adjusts model-based small area estimates so that their weighted aggregate agrees with the weighted aggregate of the direct estimates, using the difference, ratio, and optimum benchmarking methods described in Rao and Molina (2015, ISBN:978-1-118-73578-7) and Wang, Fuller and Qu (2008). The mean squared error (MSE) of the benchmarked empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) under the Fay-Herriot model is estimated with the second-order approximation or the parametric bootstrap of Steorts and Ghosh (2013) doi:10.5705/ss.2012.053. The posterior MSE of the benchmarked hierarchical Bayes (HB) estimator follows Datta, Ghosh, Steorts and Maples (2011) doi:10.1007/s11749-010-0218-y.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("saebenchmarking", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("fionaaudia/saebenchmarking")

Development version from fionaaudia/saebenchmarking. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-saebenchmarking

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-saebenchmarking

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-saebenchmarking

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
