Area specific confidence intervals for a small area mean under the Fay-Herriot model
‎Small area estimates have received much attention from both private and public sectors due to the growing demand for effective planning of health services‎, ‎apportioning of government funds and policy and decision making‎. ‎Surveys are generally designed to give representative estimates at national or district level‎, ‎but estimates of variables of interest are oft...
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 کاملCredible Intervals for Nanoparticle Characteristics
Solving the inverse problem of nanoparticle characterization has the potential to advance science and benefit society. While considerable progress has been made within a framework based on the scattering of surface plasmon-polaritons, an aspect not heretofore considered is the quantification of uncertainty in the estimation of a nanoparticle characteristic. Therefore, the present article offers...
متن کاملSimultaneous confidence intervals for image reconstruction problems
We provide a methodology for specifying a set of simultaneous (1 CY)% confidence intervals on the intensity of each image pixel for emission and transmission tomography. These intervals give a (1 a)% confidence region which, given a specific family of noise distributions, e.g. Gaussian or Poisson, is guaranteed to contain the actual image with probability at least 1 -a. This region is a "set es...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Estimation of Bayesian Credible and HPD Intervals
This paper considers how to estimate Bayesian credible and highest probability density (HPD) intervals for parameters of interest and provides a simple Monte Carlo approach to approximate these Bayesian intervals when a sample of the relevant parameters can be generated from their respective marginal posterior distribution using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling algorithm. We also deve...
