Planning and evaluation of government programs usually requires access to a
wide range of national and sub-national socio-economic, environment and
health related statistics. There is, however, a growing need for statistics
relating to much smaller geographical areas, where data are too sparse to
support the sort of standard estimation methods typically employed at
national level. These 'small area' official statistics are routinely used
for a variety of purposes, including assessing economic well-being of a
nation, making public policies, and allocating funds in various government
programs. With the rapid development of survey methodology, different
governmental agencies are now exploring ways of combining national survey
data with administrative and census records to produce reliable small area
statistics. The field of small area estimation research is quickly
expanding to meet this demand, and is constantly tackling practical
problems that are theoretically challenging.



The main purpose of the proposed meeting will be to assess the current
state of development and usage of small area methodology. We hope that this
meeting will serve as a bridge between mathematical statisticians and
practitioners working on small area estimation in academia, private and
government agencies. This meeting in Santiago will give researchers an
opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art small area estimation
techniques from the experts in the field.


The tentative program will allow for six invited plenary sessions and a
number of special topic and contributed sessions. Please send the title and
abstract (max. 200 words) of your talk to Carolina Casas-Cordero at
sae2015 em uc.cl as soon as possible but no later than April 15, 2015.
Abstracts that are related to the theme of the meeting will be accepted on
a first-come, first-served basis, subject to a favorable review by the
scientific committee and space constraints.
