A robust hierarchical Bayes method is developed to smooth small area means when a number of covariates are available. The method is particularly suited when one or more outliers are present in the data. It is well known that the regular Bayes estimators of small area means, under normal prior distri
Mapping of incidence rates or mortality rates (relative risks) from diseases like cancer and leukemia is of primary importance in an epidemiological study. The usual procedure is to map the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) across different geographical regions. Direct use of SMR may not be worthwh
