Small area estimation for semicontinuous data.
Survey data often contain measurements for variables that are semicontinuous in nature, i.e. they either take a single fixed value (we assume this is zero) or they have a continuous, often skewed, distribution on the positive real line. Standard methods for small area estimation (SAE) based on the use of linear mixed models can be inefficient for such variables. We discuss SAE techniques for se...
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 کاملSome 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 کاملSmall Area Estimation for Survey Data Analysis Using SAS® Software
Small area estimation is important in survey analysis when domain (subpopulation) sample sizes are too small to provide adequate precision for direct domain estimators. Popular techniques for small area estimation use implicit or explicit statistical models to indirectly estimate the small area parameters of interest. Indirect estimation requires you to go beyond the survey data analysis method...
متن کاملBayesian Statistics for Small Area Estimation
Abstract. National statistical offices are often required to provide statistical information about characteristics of the population, such as mean income or unemployment rate, at several administrative or small area levels. Having good area level estimates is important because policies will often be based on this type of information. In this paper we describe how Bayesian hierarchical models ca...
