Although in sample surveys the problem of estimation of population characteristics is usually the key issue, clients may also be interested in subpopulations characteristics. In some cases the model approach may not be preferred in practice due to the possibility of model misspecification what may imply bias of estimates. This is the reason why model-assisted approach giving e.g. design-consistent estimates (even in the case of model misspecification) may be in favour. In the paper model-assisted pseudo-empirical best linear unbiased predictor (pseudo-EBLUP) of the domain total for longitudinal data based on the special case of the General Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) with element and domain specific random components will be proposed.(author's abstract)
