Ganesh, N.; Lahiri, P. A new class of average moment matching priors. (English) Zbl 1437.62466 Biometrika 95, No. 2, 514-520 (2008). Summary: We derive a new class of priors for the variance component in the Fay-Herriot model, a mixed regression model widely used in small area estimation. This class includes the well-known uniform or superharmonic prior. Through simulation we illustrate the use of our class of priors.
