The goal of SAEplus package is to produce a set of R functions and tools to pull remote sensing data from platforms such as Google Earth Engine, Open Street Maps, Facebook and WorldPop. The package provides additional functionality to pre-process this data into standard datasets to be used for Small Area Estimation (SAE) with the EMDI & EMDIplus R Packages.
The package produces post-estimation diagnostics from EMDI/EMDIplus result objects. This is useful for reporting writing and generating poverty maps.
The development version can be installed from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("SSA-Statistical-Team-Projects/SAEplus")
