Robust Small Area Estimation Under Unit Level Models
Small area estimation has received considerable attention in recent years because of an increasing demand for small area statistics. Basic area level and unit level models have been studied in the literature to obtain empirical best linear unbiased predictors for small area means. Although this classical method is useful for estimating the small area means efficiently under strict model assumpt...
متن کاملAnalysis of area level and unit level models for small area estimation in forest inventories assisted with LiDAR auxiliary information
Forest inventories require estimates and measures of uncertainty for subpopulations such as management units. These units often times hold a small sample size, so they should be regarded as small areas. When auxiliary information is available, different small area estimation methods have been proposed to obtain reliable estimates for small areas. Unit level empirical best linear unbiased predic...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation of Complex Parameters Under Unit-level Models with Skew-Normal Errors
Complex parameters, such as poverty indicators, are usually difficult to predict in small area estimation (SAE). Elbers et al. (2003) have proposed an empirical semi-parametric method for dealing with poverty indices in SAE. This method, commonly called the ELL method, consists of drawing from the empirical residuals to reconstitute the entire census. After simulating the census, any complex pa...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation Using Area Level Models with Model Checking and Applications
In this paper, we first discuss various area level models for small area estimation including a basic area level model and some extended area level models. We also discuss some sampling variance modeling and smoothing methods. Secondly, we will discuss the problem of model checking using posterior predictive distributions for area level models. We propose a new test quantity and compare it with...
متن کاملSmall-Area Estimation of County-Level Forest Attributes Using Ground Data and Remote Sensed Auxiliary Information
Small-area estimation (SAE) is a concept that has considerable potential for precise estimation of forest ecosystem attributes in partitioned forest populations. In this study, several estimators were compared as SAE techniques for 12 counties in the northern Oregon Coast range. The estimators that were compared consisted of three indirect estimators, multiple linear regression (MLR), gradient ...
