Comparison of Variance Estimation Methods Using PPI Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Producer Price Index (PPI) collects price data from domestic producers of commodities and publishes monthly indexes on average price changes received by those producers at all stages of processing. PPI samples employ a two-stage design where establishments are selected in the first stage and unique items are selected in the second stage. In this paper we review the research results from the PPI variance estimation study. The objective of the study was to determine the best method of variance estimation appropriate for PPI data. Historical data from eleven NAICS industries were used to create simulation frames, from which simulation samples were drawn and estimated variances calculated. The replication methods compared were the Balanced Repeated Replication (BRR), Fay’s BRR, Jackknife and the Bootstrap. The Bootstrap method was recommended for the PPI program by the study. Key Word s: NAICS; Balanced Repeated Replication; Fay’s Method; Stratified Jackknife; Bootstrap.

An Empirical Comparison of Performance of the Unified Approach to Linearization of Variance Estimation after Imputation with Some Other Methods
Imputation is one of the most common methods to reduce item non_response effects. Imputation results in a complete data set, and then it is possible to use naϊve estimators. After using most of common imputation methods, mean and total (imputation estimators) are still unbiased. However their variances (imputation variances) are underestimated by naϊve variance estimators. Sampling mechanism an...

Sheep and goat have a great role in the economy of the pastoral communities which have inhabited in the lowland parts Ethiopia. The study was conducted in Borana low land southern Ethiopia to predict the body weight of blackhead Somali (BHS) sheep using linear body measurements under farm condition. A total of 478 heads (301 female and 177 males) were measured for linear body measurements and b...

Small Area estimation is a technique used to estimate parameters of subpopulations with small sample sizes. Small area estimation is needed in obtaining information on a small area, such as sub-district or village. Generally, in some cases, small area estimation uses parametric modeling. But in fact, a lot of models have no linear relationship between the small area average and the covariat...
