Multivariate Fay-Herriot models for small area estimation
Introduction Multivariate Fay–Herriot models for estimating small area indicators are introduced. Among the available procedures for fitting linear mixed models, the residual maximum likelihood (REML) is employed. The empirical best predictor (EBLUP) of the vector of area means is derived. An approximation to the matrix of mean squared crossed prediction errors (MSE) is given and four MSE estim...
متن کاملParametric transformed Fay-Herriot model for small area estimation
Consider the small area estimation when positive area-level data like income, revenue, harvests or production are available. Although a conventional method is the logtransformed Fay-Herriot model, the log-transformation is not necessarily appropriate. Another popular method is the Box-Cox transformation, but it has drawbacks that the maximum likelihood estimator (ML) of the transformation param...
متن کاملArea specific confidence intervals for a small area mean under the Fay-Herriot model
‎Small area estimates have received much attention from both private and public sectors due to the growing demand for effective planning of health services‎, ‎apportioning of government funds and policy and decision making‎. ‎Surveys are generally designed to give representative estimates at national or district level‎, ‎but estimates of variables of interest are oft...
متن کاملSmall-Area Estimation based on Survey Data from a Left-Censored Fay-Herriot Model
We study Small Area Estimation based on data obtained by leftcensored responses from a Fay-Herriot (1979) normal-error model. The problem is motivated by the Census Bureau’s ongoing Small Area Income and Poverty Estimation (SAIPE) project, where a FH model is fitted to a logarithmically transformed response variable (count of sampled poor children within a CPS-sampled county), with PSU’s provid...
