Comparison 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...

Title of Document: HIERARCHICAL BAYES ESTIMATION AND EMPIRICAL BEST PREDICTION OF SMALLAREA PROPORTIONS Benmei Liu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Professor Partha Lahiri Joint Program in Survey Methodology Estimating proportions of units with a given characteristic for small areas using small area estimation (SAE) techniques is a common problem in survey research. The direct survey es...
متن کاملSemiparametric small area estimation for binary outcomes with application to unemployment estimation for Local Authorities in the UK
A new semiparametric and robust approach to small area estimation for discrete outcomes is proposed. The methodology represents an efficient and easily computed alternative to prediction using a generalised linear mixed model and is based on an extension of Mquantile regression. In addition, two estimators of the prediction mean squared error are described, one based on Taylor linearization and...
متن کاملResampling Based Empirical Prediction: An Application to Small Area Estimation
Best linear unbiased prediction is well known for its wide range of applications including small area estimation. While the theory is well established for mixed linear models and under normality of the error and mixing distributions, the literature is sparse for nonlinear mixed models under nonnormality of the error or of the mixing distributions. This article develops a resampling based unifie...
متن کاملNonnegative mean squared prediction error estimation in small area estimation
Small area estimation has received enormous attention in recent years due to its wide range of application, particularly in policy making decisions. The variance based on direct sample size of small area estimator is unduly large and there is a need of constructing model based estimator with low mean squared prediction error (MSPE). Estimation of MSPE and in particular the bias correction of MS...
