The number of wildfires in Mediterranean countries is quite high but they are mainly concentrated around summer months. Due to seasonality, there are territories where the number of fires is zero in some months and is overdispersed in others. Zero-inflated negative binomial mixed models are adapted to this type of data because they allow to describe the patterns that explain both number of...

This contribution presents a new statistical methodology for the small area estimation of the proportion of employed, unemployed and inactive people, and of unemployment rates. The novel empirical best and plug-in predictors are based on a multinomial mixed model that is fitted to unit-level data. Model parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood and mean squared errors by parametric...
