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 کاملsae: An R Package for Small Area Estimation
Abstract We describe the R package sae for small area estimation. This package can be used to obtain model-based estimates for small areas based on a variety of models at the area and unit levels, along with basic direct and indirect estimates. Mean squared errors are estimated by analytical approximations in simple models and applying bootstrap procedures in more complex models. We describe th...
متن کاملSmall area estimation using skew normal models
Valmária Rocha da Silva ∗ Fernando Antônio da Silva Moura † Abstract The main aim of this work is to propose two important connected extensions of the Fay and Heriot (1979) area level small area estimation model that might be of practical and theoretical interests. The first extension allows for the sampling error to be non-symmetrically distributed. This is important for the case that the samp...
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 ...
