Some 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 کاملNew Important Developments in Small Area Estimation
The problem of small area estimation (SAE) is how to produce reliable estimates of characteristics of interest such as means, counts, quantiles, etc., for areas or domains for which only small samples or no samples are available, and how to assess their precision. The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss some of the new important developments in small area estimation methods. Rao [Sma...
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...
متن کاملIntroduction to Small Area Estimation
In this vignette we will describe an example on how to produce Small Area Estimates using different types of techniques. Different direct and model based estimators will be briefly described and their computation using the Rsoftware will be illustrated with a simulated data set. Small Area Estimation tackles the problem of providing reliable estimates of one or several variables of interest in ...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation in Longitudinal Surveys
Longitudinal surveys are very common in sampling over interval of times to estimate the aggregate level of population means at given point of time. In the present paper, the estimation methods have been developed for small area in longitudinal surveys using small area estimation (SAE) techniques. Direct, synthetic and composite estimators have been proposed to estimate the population mean of sm...
