RESEARCH REPORT SERIES (Statistics #2003-08) Small Area Estimation from the American Community Survey using a Hierarchical Logistic Model of Persons and Housing Units

چکیده
A multivariate binomial/multinomial model is proposed for estimating poverty and housing-unit characteristics of small areas. It is demonstrated that the model is in concordance with the design in that the model can reproduce within small area design-based estimates of variance. The methodology for producing estimates is presented, along with several evaluations using data from the American Community Survey. It is concluded that this approach can be a viable way to make small area estimates without needing to assume that the design-based estimates of variance are fixed (as in most area-level models).

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...

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...
