Area deprivation and notifiable infectious diseases in Germany: A longitudinal small-area analysis

Asthma prevalence and deprivation: a small area analysis.

STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the relation between the prevalence of asthma symptoms in adults and deprivation in the area of residence. DESIGN Two complementary surveys carried out between 1991-1993 yielding adult asthma symptom prevalence throughout New Zealand. Deprivation is measured by the NZDep91 index of deprivation for small areas. SETTING New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS A random sampl...

Small Area Estimation in Longitudinal Surveys

Longitudinal surveys are very common in sampling over interval of times to estimate the aggregate level of population means at given point of time. In the present paper, the estimation methods have been developed for small area in longitudinal surveys using small area estimation (SAE) techniques. Direct, synthetic and composite estimators have been proposed to estimate the population mean of sm...

Some New Developments in Small Area Estimation

Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...
