Inverse Gaussian Model for Small Area Estimation via Gibbs Sampling
We present a Bayesian method for estimating small area parameters under an inverse Gaussian model. The method is extended to estimate small area parameters for finite populations. The Gibbs sampler is proposed as a mechanism for implementing the Bayesian paradigm. We illustrate the method by application to household income survey data, comparing it against the usual lognormal model for positive...
متن کاملThe use of sampling weights in Bayesian hierarchical models for small area estimation.
Hierarchical modeling has been used extensively for small area estimation. However, design weights that are required to reflect complex surveys are rarely considered in these models. We develop computationally efficient, Bayesian spatial smoothing models that acknowledge the design weights. Computation is carried out using the integrated nested Laplace approximation, which is fast. An extensive...
متن کاملA Comparison of model-based methods for Small Area Estimation
Government agencies often provide small area estimates that rely on available data and some underlying model that helps to provide estimates in all areas, even in those that were not sampled. Several models have been well-established for the study of data coming from small areas. In this paper we have made a comparison of some of these methods paying attention to how different types of data set...
متن کاملComparison 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...
متن کاملInterval Estimation for Small Area Proportions with Small True Proportions from Stratified Random Sampling Survey Data∗†
Consider interval estimation of m small area proportions Pi (i = 1, · · · ,m), where we assume a stratified random sampling design with equal number of observations n in each stratum, and where the domains of interest are the strata. A 100(1 − α)% confidence interval for Pi that has appeared repeatedly in the literature and is used in application is given by P̂ i ± zα/2 √ msei, where P̂ i and mse...
