Welcome

This international conference will serve as a bridge among statisticians, survey methodologists, engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and others interested in combining information from multiple databases in developing reliable inferences at granular levels. A topic of particular interest will be the use of such techniques in analyzing consumer finance trends, such as the rise of online payday loans, and their socio-economic implications. In addition to traditional topics in Small Area Estimation (SAE), the conference will cover a few emerging topics in survey and official statistics (e.g., nonprobability sampling, probabilistic record linkage, data fusion, etc.).
