Methods for small area estimation have been received great attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area estimation that are needed in development planings, allocation of government funds and marking business decisions. The key question in small area estimation is how to obtain reliable estimations when sample size is small. When only a few observations(or even no o...
متن کاملComparison of Small Area Models in SAIPE
The ongoing Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) project at the Census Bureau estimates numbers of poor school-age children by state, county, and ultimately school district, based upon Current Population Survey (CPS) and IRS data along with information from the latest decennial census. The current SAIPE county-level methodology relies on a Fay-Herriot (1979) model fitted to log-count...
متن کاملSmall-Area Estimation based on Survey Data from a Left-Censored Fay-Herriot Model
We study Small Area Estimation based on data obtained by leftcensored responses from a Fay-Herriot (1979) normal-error model. The problem is motivated by the Census Bureau’s ongoing Small Area Income and Poverty Estimation (SAIPE) project, where a FH model is fitted to a logarithmically transformed response variable (count of sampled poor children within a CPS-sampled county), with PSU’s provid...
متن کاملComparison of Aggregate versus Unit-level Models for Small-area Estimation
This paper compares two methods of small-area estimation in a setting imitating the Census Bureau’s county-level estimation of child poverty rates within the SAIPE (Small-Area Income and Poverty Estimates) program. The first method estimates a transformed Fay-Herriot (1979) regression model for log-rates of child poverty by county in terms of several county-level predictors, discarding data fro...
