Pull your small area estimates up by the bootstraps

چکیده
This paper presents a methodological update to the World Bank's toolkit for small area estimation. The reviews computational procedures of current methods used by institution: traditional ELL approach and Empirical Best (EB) addition introduced imitate original EB procedure Molina Rao [Small estimation poverty indicators. Canadian J Stat. 2010;38(3):369–385], including heteroskedasticity survey weights, but using different bootstrap approach, here referred as clustered bootstrap. Simulation experiments provide empirical evidence shortcomings which yields biased noisier point estimates. document an Bank’s implementation considering noise estimation, extended complex designs heteroscedasticity. illustrate that revised yield considerably less more efficient estimators than those obtained from approach.

متن کاملPull up transistor folding
We develop a polynomial time algorithm for the pull up transistor assignment problem and show that the interval selection and interval selection with pull up transistor assignment problems are N P hard. Heuristics for these problems are proposed and compared with that proposed in 1111.
متن کاملUpdating small area population estimates in England and Wales.
"Population estimates have important implications for resource allocation within government and commerce, and are often assumed to be without error. Currently, central government provides annual population estimates for all the local and health authority districts in Britain, but estimates are needed for smaller areas, typically for electoral wards and postal sectors. Small area estimates are p...
متن کاملComparison of Dasymetric Mapping Techniques for Small-Area Population Estimates
Dasymetric mapping techniques can be employed to estimate population characteristics of small areas that do not correspond to census enumeration areas. Land cover has been the most widely used source of ancillary data in dasymetric mapping. The current research examines the performance of alternative sources of ancillary data, including imperviousness, road networks, and nighttime lights. Natio...
متن کاملCoherent small area estimates for skewed business data
The demand for reliable business statistics at disaggregated levels such as NACE classes increased considerably in recent years. The interest in this topic has been reflected in the BLUE-ETS project, where work package 6 dealt with methods to enhance the quality of business statistics. One of the main areas of research in work package 6 was related to the modelling of business data to produce r...
