Small Area Estimation Using a Spatio-temporal Linear Mixed Model
• In this paper it is proposed a spatio-temporal area level linear mixed model involving spatially correlated and temporally autocorrelated random effects. An empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) for small area parameters has been obtained under the proposed model. Using previous research in this area, analytical and bootstrap estimators of the mean squared prediction error (MSPE) o...
متن کاملGeneralized Maximum Likelihood Method in Linear Mixed Models with an Application in Small-Area Estimation
Standard methods frequently produce zero estimates of dispersion parameters in the underlying linear mixed model. As a consequence, the EBLUP estimate of a small area mean reduces to a simple regression estimate. In this paper, we consider a class of generalized maximum residual likelihood estimators that covers the well-known profile maximum likelihood and the residual maximum likelihood estim...
متن کاملComparison of Different Estimation Methods for Linear Mixed Models and Generalized Linear Mixed Models
Linear mixed models (LMM) and generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) are widely used in regression analyses. With the variance structure dependent on the random effects with their variance components, the parameter estimation of LMMs is more complicated than linear models (LM). Generally, we use maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) together with some procedure such as derivative free optimizatio...
متن کاملM-quantile Models for Small Area Estimation
Small area estimation techniques are employed when sample data are insufficient for acceptably precise direct estimation in domains of interest. These techniques typically rely on regression models that use both covariates and random effects to explain variation between domains. However, such models also depend on strong distributional assumptions, require a formal specification of the random p...
متن کاملSmall area estimation using skew normal models
Valmária Rocha da Silva ∗ Fernando Antônio da Silva Moura † Abstract The main aim of this work is to propose two important connected extensions of the Fay and Heriot (1979) area level small area estimation model that might be of practical and theoretical interests. The first extension allows for the sampling error to be non-symmetrically distributed. This is important for the case that the samp...
