Please join as the PDHP workshop series continues with Introduction To Small Area Estimation presented by Carolina Franco of NORC at the University Of Chicago.  This half-day workshop is geared toward researchers and data analysts of all skill levels, and will introduce small area estimation as a technique for obtaining granular estimates from survey data in cases where survey sample sizes will typically not be sufficient for accurate estimates using traditional methods. Attendees will be shown real-world examples of SAE in official statistics, social statistics, and public health, while also getting hands-on practice implementing SAE with state-of-the-art software using R.  Light lunch will be provided for those attending in person.

Topics covered:

• Introduction to SAE and its potential benefits
•  Real-world examples of SAE in official statistics, social statistics, and public health
• Introduction to the area-level and unit-level models
• Hands-on practice using R
