Modeling Urban/Rural Fractions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In low- and middle-income countries, household surveys are the most reliable data source to examine health and demographic indicators at the subnational level, an exercise in small area estimation. Model-based unit-level models are favored in producing the subnational estimates at fine scale, such as the admin-2 level.

Robust inference for the treatment effect variance in experiments using machine learning [PDF]
