Robust small area estimation for unit level model with density power divergence.

Unit level model is one of the classical models in small area estimation, which plays an important role with unit information data. Empirical Bayesian(EB) estimation, as the optimal estimation under normal assumption, is the most commonly used parameter estimation method in unit level model. However...
