Small area estimation techniques with survey data are now widely being investigated in an increasingly crowded field. In forestry, on-the-ground Inventories could collect very intensive grid information, but this is costly. Therefore, utilizing the low-cost auxiliary information from remote sensing sources such as Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) or ...

Small Area Shrinkage Estimation
The need for small area estimates is increasingly felt in both the public and private sectors in order to formulate their strategic plans. It is now widely recognized that direct small area survey estimates are highly unreliable owing to large standard errors and coefficients of variation.

A new estimator and approach for estimating the subpopulation parameters
Based on some theoretical results, we recommend a new algorithm for estimating the total and mean of a subpopulation variable for the case of a known subpopulation size, which is different from the algorithm recommended by most of sampling books.

The Fay–Herriot Model in Small Area Estimation
Standard methods of variance component estimation used in the Fay-Herriot model for small areas can produce problems of inadmissible values (negative or zero) for these variances. This implies that the empirical best linear unbiased predictor of a small

Small area estimation with subgroup analysis
In this article, a new unit level model based on a pairwise penalised regression approach is proposed for problems in small area estimation (SAE). Instead of assuming common regression coefficients for all small domains in the traditional model, the new ...

The Use of the Robust GREG Estimator to Estimate Small Trade Firms
In the face of dynamic changes in the economy, there is a growing demand for multivariate statistics for cross‑classified domains. In economic statistics, this demand poses a particular challenge owing to the unique character of the population of ...

Multivariate small area estimation under nonignorable nonresponse
We consider multivariate small area estimation under nonignorable, not missing at random (NMAR) nonresponse. We assume a response model that accounts for the different patterns of the observed outcomes, (which values are observed and which ones are ...
