Jackknife and Bootstrap Methods for Variance Estimation from Sample Survey Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Re-sampling methods have long been used in survey sampling, dating back to Mahalanobis (1946). More recently, jackknife and bootstrap resampling methods have also been proposed for small area estimation; in particular for mean squared error (MSE) estimation and for constructing confidence intervals. We present a brief overview of early uses of resampling methods in survey sampling, and then provide an appraisal of more recent re-sampling methods for variance estimation and inference for small areas.

متن کاملThe Rao-Wu Rescaling Bootstrap: From theory to practice
At Statistics Canada, variance estimation for complex surveys is mainly carried out using replication methods. The two replication methods which have been used in the last decade are the delete-one Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) jackknife and, more recently, the bootstrap. As Valliant (2007) rightly points out there are several variants of the bootstrap introduced by Efron (1979) in the i.i.d. cas...
متن کاملThe Effect of Nonresponse Primary Sampling Units on Estimating the Variance of Changes by Jackknife Method (Case Study: Labor Force Survey Data for 2009 and 2010)
Abstract. According to the importance of presenting change estimation of labor force survey indicators along with their variance, in this paper, the use of Jackknife method in estimating variance of changes has been investigated. Then, the effect of nonresponse primary sampling units on estimating the variance of changes has been studied by use of Jackknife method via intensive simulation stud...
متن کاملBias, Precision, and Accuracy of Four Measures of Species Richness
Species richness is a widely used surrogate for the more complex concept of biological diversity. Because species richness is often central to ecological study and the establishment of conservation priorities, the biases and merits of richness measurements demand evaluation. The jackknife and bootstrap estimators can be used to compensate for the underestimation associated with simple richness ...
متن کاملJackknife Empirical Likelihood Inference For The Pietra Ratio
Pietra ratio (Pietra index), also known as Robin Hood index, Schutz coefficient (RicciSchutz index) or half the relative mean deviation, is a good measure of statistical heterogeneity in the context of positive-valued data sets. In this thesis, two novel methods namely “adjusted jackknife empirical likelihood” and “extended jackknife empirical likelihood” are developed from the jackknife empiri...
