O <i>Committee on International Relations in Statistics (CIRS) from the American Statistical Association (ASA)
</i>está organizando um Webinar sobre diferentes temas em estatística. A ideia é que o Webinar fornecerá uma introdução ao tema em questão. O principal objetivo é alcançar uma audiência internacional, em particular, de países em desenvolvimento onde acreditamos
é mais difícil para a audiência ter acesso a este tipo de Webinar.</div>

Small area estimation (SAE) techniques can lead to greatly improved estimates relative to direct survey estimates when there is a large number of domains of interest and a limited overall sample size, which is often the case in surveys. When successfully applied,
SAE can dramatically reduce measures of uncertainty and provide estimates for domains with no survey data. It can allow for publishing of official estimates at lower levels of aggregation. We will discuss the following topics:

Dr. Carolina Franco is a Principal Statistician at NORC at the University of Chicago, specializing in small area estimation (SAE). Prior to moving to NORC last year, Dr. Franco spent several years doing research and consulting at the US Census Bureau, where
she worked on important SAE programs used for the production of official statistics, including the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) Program, and the Voting Rights Act, Section 203 determinations. She also has extensive experience giving seminars
on SAE and has taught SAE through the Joint Program in Survey Methodology at the University of Maryland. She has published several papers on different aspects of SAE.</p>
