    Abstract

    In this article, we outline the basic properties of empirical best linear unbiased predictors (EBLUPs) and discuss some of the issues that arise in estimating their prediction mean squared errors. We introduce EBLUPs in the context of the linear mixed model with unknown covariances and briefly describe some of their applications. We then consider their particular application to small area estimation and outline ways to estimate the prediction mean squared error that have been developed in this context.
