چکیده

Riassunto: L’esigenza sempre più frequente di ottenere stime relative a zone e domini ridotti che non sono stati considerati tali al momento del disegno dell’indagine, ha determinato lo sviluppo di metodi statistici di stima per piccole aree. Questo lavoro ha lo scopo di valutare la possibilità di migliorare le stime dei parametri di interesse attraverso l’introduzione di un modello spaziale nello stimatore EBLUP. A differenza dei comuni modelli di stima per piccole aree, che ipotizzano effetti casuali non correlati tra zone, l’applicazione di un modello spaziale permette di considerare la plausibile presenza di correlazione tra valori del fenomeno in “aree vicine” secondo opportuni criteri di distanza. La metodologia sviluppata viene applicata allo studio dell’erosione del suolo di un bacino idrografico sito nello stato dell'Iowa (USA).

Comparison of Small Area Estimation Methods for Estimating Unemployment Rate

Extended Abstract. In recent years, needs for small area estimations have been greatly increased for large surveys particularly household surveys in Sta­ tistical Centre of Iran (SCI), because of the costs and respondent burden. The lack of suitable auxiliary variables between two decennial housing and popula­ tion census is a challenge for SCI in using these methods. In general, the...

Multivariate geostatistical estimation using minimum spatial cross-correlation factors (Case study: Cubuk Andesite quarry, Ankara, Turkey)

The quality properties of andesite (Unit Volume Weight, Uniaxial Compression Strength, Los500, etc.) are required to determine the exploitable blocks and their sequence of extraction. However, the number of samples that can be taken and analyzed is restricted, and thus the quality properties should be estimated at unknown locations. Cokriging has been traditionally used in the estimation of spa...

Maximum likelihood estimation of spatially and serially correlated panels with random effects

An estimation framework and a user-friendly software implementation are described for maximum likelihood estimation of panel data models with random effects, a spatially lagged dependent variable and spatially and serially correlated errors. This specification extends static panel data models in the direction of serial error correlation, allowing richer modelling possibilities and more thorough...
