abstract

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 covariate. this problem requires a non-parametric approach to solve, such askernel approach and local polynomial regression (lpr). the purpose of this study is comparing the results of small area estimation using kernel approach and lpr. data used in this study are generated by simulation results using r language . simulation data obtained by generating function m (x) are linear and quadratic pattern. the criteria used to compare the results of the simulation are absolute relative bias (arb), mean square error (mse), generalized cross validation (gcv), and risk factors. the simulation results showed: 1) kernel gives smaller relative bias than lpr does on both  linear and quadratic data pattern. the relative bias obtained by kernel tends to be more stable and consistent than the relative bias resulted by lpr, (2) the kernel mse is smaller than the lpr mse either on linear or quadratic pattern in any combination treatment, (3) the value of gcv and the risk factors in kernel are smaller than these in lpr in any combination of the simulated data patterns, (4) on non parametric data, for both linear data pattern and quadratic data pattern, kernel methods provide better estimation compared to lpr.

Nonparametric Regression Estimation under Kernel Polynomial Model for Unstructured Data

The nonparametric estimation(NE) of kernel polynomial regression (KPR) model is a powerful tool to visually depict the effect of covariates on response variable, when there exist unstructured and heterogeneous data. In this paper we introduce KPR model that is the mixture of nonparametric regression models with bootstrap algorithm, which is considered in a heterogeneous and unstructured framewo...

Local Polynomial Regression for Small Area Estimation

Estimation of small area means in the presence of area level auxiliary information is considered. A class of estimators based on local polynomial regression is proposed. The assumptions on the area level regression are considerably weaker than standard small area models. Both the small area mean functions and the between area variance function are modeled as smooth functions of area level covar...

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
