Comments on: “Single and two-stage cross-sectional and time series benchmarking procedures for small area estimation”
We congratulate the authors for a stimulating and valuable manuscript, providing a careful review of the state-of-the-art in cross-sectional and time-series benchmarking procedures for small area estimation. They develop a novel two-stage benchmarking method for hierarchical time series models, where they evaluate their procedure by estimating monthly total unemployment using data from the US C...
متن کاملLikelihood inference in small area estimation by combining time-series and cross-sectional data
SUMMARY A model involving random effects and autocorre-lated errors is proposed for small area estimation, using both time series and cross-sectional data. This model is an extension of the well-known Fay-Herriot model for cross-sectional data. A two-stage esti-mator (predictor) of a small area mean at a given time point is obtained under the proposed model, by firsl deriving the best linear un...
متن کاملTwo-stage Stopping Procedures Based on Standardized Time Series
We propose some new two-stage stopping procedures to construct absolute-width and relative-width confidence intervals for a simulation estimator of the steady-state mean of a stochastic process. The procedures are based on the method of standardized time series proposed by Schruben and on Stein’s two-stage sampling scheme. We prove that our two-stage procedures give rise to asymptotically valid...
متن کاملTwo stage non-parametric approach for small area estimation
Small area estimators commonly borrow strength from other related areas. These indirect estimators use models (explicit or implicit) that relate the small areas through supplementary data. Various unit-level and area-level small area models are proposed in the literature, but all these models assume the small area mean is linearly related with supplementary information. In this article, we prop...
متن کاملEstimation Procedures for Structural Time Series Models
A univariate structural time series model based on the traditional decomposition into trend, seasonal and irregular components is defined. A number of methods of computing maximum likelihood estimators are then considered. These include direct maximization of various time domain likelihood function. The asymptotic properties of the estimators are given and a comparison between the various metho...
