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 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 کاملRobust Small Area Estimation Under Unit Level Models
Small area estimation has received considerable attention in recent years because of an increasing demand for small area statistics. Basic area level and unit level models have been studied in the literature to obtain empirical best linear unbiased predictors for small area means. Although this classical method is useful for estimating the small area means efficiently under strict model assumpt...
متن کاملSequential Estimation of Quantiles
Quantiles are convenient measures of the entire range of values of simulation outputs. However, unlike the mean and standard deviation, the observations have to be stored since calculation of quantiles requires several passes through the data. Thus, quantile estimation(QE) requires a large amount of computer storage and computation time. Several approaches for estimating quantiles in RS(regener...
متن کاملNon-parametric bootstrap mean squared error estimation for M-quantile estimators of small area averages, quantiles and poverty indicators
Small area estimation is conventionally concerned with the estimation of small area averages and totals. More recently emphasis has been also placed on the estimation of poverty indicators and of key quantiles of the small area distribution function using robust models for example, the M-quantile small area model (Chambers and Tzavidis, 2006). In parallel to point estimation, Mean Squared Error...
