The mean squared error (MSE) of the benchmarked empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) under the Fay-Herriot model is estimated with the second-order approximation or the parametric bootstrap of Steorts and Ghosh (2013) . The posterior MSE of the benchmarked hierarchical Bayes (HB) estimator follows Datta, Ghosh, Steorts and Maples (2011) . authors: - family-names: Sihombing given-names: Fiona Audia Nauli email: fionasihombing95@gmail.com - family-names: Ubaidillah given-names: Azka repository: https://fionaaudia.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/fionaaudia/saebenchmarking commit: 5f2ffde97f42af30ccad130228161c08559f3bac url: https://github.com/fionaaudia/saebenchmarking date-released: '2026-09-17' contact: - family-names: Sihombing given-names: Fiona Audia Nauli email: fionasihombing95@gmail.com
