Spatial Fay-Herriot Models for Small Area Estimation with Functional Covariates
The Fay-Herriot (FH) model is widely used in small area estimation and uses auxiliary information to reduce estimation variance at undersampled locations. We extend the type of covariate information used in the FH model to include functional covariates, such as socialmedia search loads, or remote-sensing images (e.g., in crop-yield surveys). The inclusion of these functional covariates is facil...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation models with outliers in covariates
The objective of small area estimation (SAE) methods is to use survey data for estimating some characteristics, such as means, totals, quantiles of items of interest, in areas or domains where the sample size is not large enough to obtain reliable direct estimates. In the last years SAE methods have received a growing interest, since their use in the formulation of new policies and programs, po...
متن کاملSmall 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 کاملM-quantile Models for Small Area Estimation
Small area estimation techniques are employed when sample data are insufficient for acceptably precise direct estimation in domains of interest. These techniques typically rely on regression models that use both covariates and random effects to explain variation between domains. However, such models also depend on strong distributional assumptions, require a formal specification of the random p...
