Small area estimation with spatial similarity
We derive a class of composite estimators of small-area quantities that exploit spatial (distance-related) similarity. They are based on a distribution-free model for the areas, but the estimators are aimed to have optimal design-based properties. Composition is applied also to estimating some of the global parameters on which the small-area estimators depend. We show that the commonly adopted ...
متن کاملSpatial Clustering Methods and Small Area Estimation
Local statistical offices often dispose of very rich databases of spatially referenced socio– economic data. The high degree of spatial detail of such information is often not too useful for practical purposes in that firms or local authorities are interested in information aggregated at higher levels. The standard practice usually consists in aggregating the data at some prespecified geographi...
متن کاملSmall area estimation under spatial nonstationarity
In this paper a geographical weighted pseudo empirical best linear unbiased predictor (GWEBLUP) for small area averages is proposed, and two approaches for estimating its mean squared error (MSE), a conditional approach and an unconditional one, are developed. The popular empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) under the linear mixed model and its associated MSE estimator are obtained ...
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 کاملMethodological Issues in Spatial Microsimulation Modelling for Small Area Estimation
In this paper, some vital methodological issues of spatial microsimulation modelling for small area estimation have been addressed, with a particular emphasis given to the reweighting techniques. Most of the review articles in small area estimation have highlighted methodologies based on various statistical models and theories. However, spatial microsimulation modelling is emerging as a very us...
