Methods of Estimation of Crop Acreage and Production for Small Domains: Applications of Small Area Estimation Methods in Agriculture

Small area estimation methods are used in survey sampling when traditional methods of estimation do not provide efficient estimates of the parameters of small domains either due to insufficient sample size or zero sample size. This monograph provides indirect methods of estimation of small domains' parameters related to agriculture field. The monograph will be useful for people working in the field of small area estimation in general and those working in the area of crop acreage and production estimates worldwide in particular.
