Subject
Bayesian inference, beta regression models, small area estimation, shiny, Stan.
Description
The tipsae package implements a set of small area estimation tools for mapping proportions and indicators defined on the unit interval. It provides for small area models
defined at area level, including the classical beta regression, zero- and/or one-inflated beta
and flexible beta ones, possibly accounting for spatial and/or temporal dependency structures. The models, developed within a Bayesian framework, are estimated through Stan
language, allowing fast estimation and customized parallel computing. The additional
features of the tipsae package, such as diagnostics, visualization and exporting functions
as well as variance smoothing and benchmarking functions, improve the user experience
through the entire process of estimation, validation and outcome presentation. A shiny
application with a user-friendly interface further eases the implementation of Bayesian
models for small area analysis
