Some 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 کاملEstimation of child vaccination coverage at state and national levels in India
OBJECTIVE To review the data, for 1999-2013, on state-level child vaccination coverage in India and provide estimates of coverage at state and national levels. METHODS We collated data from administrative reports, population-based surveys and other sources and used them to produce annual estimates of vaccination coverage. We investigated bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine, the first and third do...
متن کاملSmall Area Housing Deficit Estimation: A Spatial Microsimulation Approach
This paper presents our first attempts to develop a new methodology for measuring housing deficit at small areas. It combines the advantages of two types of census data: (a) individual-level sample data, which are very useful for depicting many dimensions of the housing deficit, but do not present detailed geographic information; and (b) universal data with detailed spatial resolution (census t...
متن کاملA noninformative Bayesian approach to small area estimation
1 SUMMARY In small area estimation one uses data from similar domains to estimate the mean in a particular small area. This borrowing of strength is justified by assuming a model which relates the small area means. Here we suggest a noninformative or objective Bayesian approach to small area estimation. Using this approach one can estimate population parameters other than means and find sensibl...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation of the Mean of Household\'s Income in Selected Provinces of Iran with Hierarchical Bayes Approach
Extended Abstract. Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to necessity demand for reliable small area statistics. Direct estimator may not provide adequate precision, because sample size in small areas is seldom large enough. Hence, by employing models that can use auxiliary information and area effects in descriptions, one can increase the precision of direct...
