Bayesian Benchmarking with Applications to Small Area Estimation
It is well-known that small area estimation needs explicit, or at least implicit use of models. These model-based estimates can differ widely from the direct estimates, especially for areas with very low sample sizes. While model-based small area estimates are very useful, one potential difficulty with such estimates is that when aggregated, the overall estimate for a larger geographical area m...
متن کاملBayesian methods for Small Area Estimation using spatio-temporal models
Introduction National statistical bureaus often provide estimates of different small area indicators (e.g., unemployment, average income) at different geographical levels which have been computed using different methods. Spatio-temporal models, for example, take into account different geographic and temporal structures of the data in order to improve estimation. The purpose is to borrow strengt...
متن کاملSome New Developments in Small Area Estimation
Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...

متن کاملBayesian Statistics for Small Area Estimation
Abstract. National statistical offices are often required to provide statistical information about characteristics of the population, such as mean income or unemployment rate, at several administrative or small area levels. Having good area level estimates is important because policies will often be based on this type of information. In this paper we describe how Bayesian hierarchical models ca...
