SUMMER: Small-Area-Estimation Unit/Area Models and Methods for Estimation in R

Provides methods for spatial and spatio-temporal smoothing of demographic and health indicators using survey data, with particular focus on estimating and projecting under-five mortality rates, described in Mercer et al.
