Examining Sensitivity of Small Area Inferences to Uncertainty About Sampling Error Variances∗
Small area estimation based on area level models typically assumes that sampling error variances for the direct survey small area estimates are known. In practice we use estimates of the sampling error variances, and these can contain substantial error. This suggests modeling the sampling variances to improve them and to quantify e , dects of their estimation error on small area inferences. We ...
متن کاملEstimation of Variance of Normal Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling
Introduction In some biological, environmental or ecological studies, there are situations in which obtaining exact measurements of sample units are much harder than ranking them in a set of small size without referring to their precise values. In these situations, ranked set sampling (RSS), proposed by McIntyre (1952), can be regarded as an alternative to the usual simple random sampling ...
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...
متن کاملRunning head : Approximate REML sampling variances Approximation of Sampling Variances and Confidence Intervals for Maximum Likelihood Estimates of Variance Components
After reviewing pertinent literature on the estimation of sampling variances and confidence intervals in the maximum likelihood framework, a method to approximate these for individual parameters in a multi-parameter analysis is described. It is based on the profile likelihood, defined as the likelihood for a subset of parameter(s) of interest with the remaining parameters equal to their maximum...
متن کاملSmall Area Variance Modeling with Application to County Poverty Estimates from the American Community Survey
Variances in the American Community Survey are estimated using a replicate weight methodology (Fay, 1995). In counties with small sample sizes, the variance estimates of poverty statistics show wide variation as a function of sample size. Generalized Variance Functions (GVF) can be used to smooth out the uncertainty of the design-based variance estimate. We propose incorporating GVFs with small...
