Small-area estimation using adjustment by covariantes.

Nicholas T. Longford (1996)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Linear regression models with random effects are applied to estimating the population means of indirectly measured variables in small areas. The proposed method, a hybrid with design- and model-based elements, takes account of the area-level variation and of the uncertainty about the fitted regression model and the area-level population means of the covariates. The method is illustrated on data from the U.S. Department of Labor Literacy Surveys and is informally validated on two states,...

On some strategies using auxiliary information for estimating finite population mean.

L. N. Sahoo, J. Sahoo, Mariano Ruiz Espejo (1998)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

This paper presents an empirical investigation of the performance of five strategies for estimating the finite population mean using parameters such as mean or variance or both of an auxiliary variable. The criteria used for the choices of these strategies are bias, efficiency and approach to normality (asymmetry).
