saeczi: Small Area Estimation for Continuous Zero Inflated Data

Provides functionality to fit a zero-inflated estimator for small area estimation. This estimator is a combines a linear mixed effects regression model and a logistic mixed effects regression model via a two-stage modeling approach. The estimator's mean squared error is estimated via a parametric bootstrap method. Chandra and others (2012, <doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.598991>) introduce and describe this estimator and mean squared error estimator. White and others (2024+, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.03263>) describe the applicability of this estimator to estimation of forest attributes and further assess the estimator's properties.
