Using Auxiliary Information in Statistical Function Estimation
In many practical situations sample sizes are not sufficiently large and estimators based on such samples may not be satisfactory in terms of their variances. At the same time it is not unusual that some auxiliary information about the parameters of interest is available. This paper considers a method of using auxiliary information for improving properties of the estimators based on a current s...

متن کاملEstimation of finite population parameters with auxiliary information and response error.
We use a finite population mixed model that accommodates response error in the survey variable of interest and auxiliary information to obtain optimal estimators of population parameters from data collected via simple random sampling. We illustrate the method with the estimation of a regression coefficient and conduct a simulation study to compare the performance of the empirical version of the...

15 صفحه اولThe Effect of Local Dependence on Item Parameter Estimation ——A Comparison Based on Comparable Item Parameters——
In this study, we assessed the effect of local dependence on item parameter estimation based on comparable item parameters, using Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. The results showed that if we estimate item parameters ignoring local dependence, item parameter estimation will be more inaccurate than taking local dependence into account. Furthermore, it was supposed that the result of previous wo...
