A Bayesian semi-parametric model for small area estimation
In public health management there is a need to produce subnational estimates of health outcomes. Often, however, funds are not available to collect samples large enough to produce traditional survey sample estimates for each subnational area. Although parametric hierarchical methods have been successfully used to derive estimates from small samples, there is a concern that the geographic divers...
متن کاملBayesian model comparison and model averaging for small-area estimation
This paper considers small-area estimation with proportion data, and discusses the choice of upper-level model for the variation over areas. Inference about the random effects for the areas may depend strongly on the choice of this model, but this choice is not a straightforward matter. We show that posterior distributions of the deviances for the competing models provide a valuable tool for th...
متن کاملAn application of Measurement error evaluation using latent class analysis
Latent class analysis (LCA) is a method of evaluating non sampling errors, especially measurement error in categorical data. Biemer (2011) introduced four latent class modeling approaches: probability model parameterization, log linear model, modified path model, and graphical model using path diagrams. These models are interchangeable. Latent class probability models express l...
متن کاملSemiparametric Bayesian measurement error modeling
This work introduces a Bayesian semi-parametric approach for dealing with regression models where the covariate is measured with error. The main advantage of this extended Bayesian approach is the possibility of considering generalizations of the elliptical family of models by using Dirichlet process priors in the dependent and independent situations. Conditional posterior distributions are imp...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian Analysis for a Spatial Model with Nugget Effects
Objective priors, especially reference priors, have been well-known for geostatistical data since Berger, et al. (2001). A long-standing problem is to develop objective Bayes inference for spatially correlated data with nugget effects. In this paper, objective priors for such cases are systematically studied. In addition to the Jeffreys priors and commonly used reference priors, two types of “e...
