Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-09 00:00:00 Doug Lott Perhaps its due to the fact that I am more familiar with the style and tone of the microeconometric literature and cannot claim to have a deep familiarity with survey statistics in the first place and the rather strange terminology concerning mixed models (which seems to be rather common in certain parts of the field) employed by this book but the presentation strikes me as often at best barely understandable if the reader is not familiar with the relevant literature. Still it is a comprehensive but extremely dry presentation of all importan developments in SAE. It's a pity that there are no alternatives to this monstrosity if you are interested in Small Area Estimation.
