Implements multivariate optimum benchmarking small area estimation. This package provides optimum benchmarking estimation for univariate and multivariate small area estimation and its MSE. In fact, MSE estimators for optimum benchmark are not readily available, so resampling method that called parametric bootstrap is applied. The optimum benchmark model and parametric bootstrap in this package are based on the model proposed in small area estimation. J.N.K Rao and Isabel Molina (2015, ISBN: 978-1-118-73578-7).
