Small Area Estimation of Complex Parameters Under Unit-level Models with Skew-Normal Errors
Complex parameters, such as poverty indicators, are usually difficult to predict in small area estimation (SAE). Elbers et al. (2003) have proposed an empirical semi-parametric method for dealing with poverty indices in SAE. This method, commonly called the ELL method, consists of drawing from the empirical residuals to reconstitute the entire census. After simulating the census, any complex pa...
متن کاملHorvitz-Thompson estimator of population mean under inverse sampling designs
Inverse sampling design is generally considered to be appropriate technique when the population is divided into two subpopulations, one of which contains only few units. In this paper, we derive the Horvitz-Thompson estimator for the population mean under inverse sampling designs, where subpopulation sizes are known. We then introduce an alternative unbiased estimator, corresponding to post-st...
متن کاملSmall area estimation under spatial nonstationarity
In this paper a geographical weighted pseudo empirical best linear unbiased predictor (GWEBLUP) for small area averages is proposed, and two approaches for estimating its mean squared error (MSE), a conditional approach and an unconditional one, are developed. The popular empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) under the linear mixed model and its associated MSE estimator are obtained ...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation Under a Restriction
There are many situations in which it is desirable to derive reliable estimators for small geographical areas or small subpopulations, from existing survey data. The basic random e ects model and corresponding small area predictors for small area estimation is introduced. There are also many situations in which it is necessary to have the total of the small area predictors equal to the total of...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation under Informative Probability Sampling of Areas and Within the Selected Areas
In this article we show how to predict small area means and obtain valid MSE estimators and confidence intervals when the areas represented in the sample are sampled with unequal probabilities that are possibly related to the true (unknown) area means, and the sampling of units within the selected areas is with probabilities that are possibly related to the outcome values. Ignoring the effects ...
