Inverse Gaussian Model for Small Area Estimation via Gibbs Sampling
We present a Bayesian method for estimating small area parameters under an inverse Gaussian model. The method is extended to estimate small area parameters for finite populations. The Gibbs sampler is proposed as a mechanism for implementing the Bayesian paradigm. We illustrate the method by application to household income survey data, comparing it against the usual lognormal model for positive...
متن کاملAnalyzing Hogwild Parallel Gaussian Gibbs Sampling
Sampling inference methods are computationally difficult to scale for many models in part because global dependencies can reduce opportunities for parallel computation. Without strict conditional independence structure among variables, standard Gibbs sampling theory requires sample updates to be performed sequentially, even if dependence between most variables is not strong. Empirical work has ...
متن کاملAnalyzing Hogwild Parallel Gaussian Gibbs Sampling
Scaling probabilistic inference algorithms to large datasets and parallel computing architectures is a challenge of great importance and considerable current research interest, and great strides have been made in designing parallelizeable algorithms. Along with the powerful and sometimes complex new algorithms, a very simple strategy has proven to be surprisingly useful in some situations: runn...

متن کاملComparison of Small Area Estimation Methods for Estimating Unemployment Rate
Extended Abstract. In recent years, needs for small area estimations have been greatly increased for large surveys particularly household surveys in Sta­ tistical Centre of Iran (SCI), because of the costs and respondent burden. The lack of suitable auxiliary variables between two decennial housing and popula­ tion census is a challenge for SCI in using these methods. In general, the...
