Simple House Needs in Jember with Robust Small Area Estimation
SAE (Small Area Estimation) is often used by researchers, especially statisticians to estimate parameters of a subpopulation which has a small sample size.

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 ...

An Asymmetric Area Model-Based Approach for Small Area Estimation Applied to Survey Data
The Birnbaum–Saunders distribution is asymmetrical and has received considerable attention due to its properties and its relationship with the normal distribution. In this paper, we propose a methodology for estimating the mean of small areas based on a

Fully Bayesian Benchmarking of Small Area Estimation Models
Estimates for small areas defined by social, demographic, and geographic variables are increasingly important for official statistics. To overcome problems of small sample sizes, statisticians usually derive model-based estimates.

Weighting and imputation comparison in small area estimation
In this paper, different methods of nonresponse adjustment for the totals of small area domains are examined. To improve quality of estimations linear model with random parameters at domain level is used.

Precise and unbiased biomass estimation from GEDI data and the US Forest Inventory
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are dependent on land-atmosphere carbon fluxes resultant from forest dynamics and land-use changes. These fluxes are not well-constrained, in part because reliable baseline estimates of forest carbon stocks and the ...

Smoothing and Benchmarking for Small Area Estimation [PDF]
SummarySmall area estimation is concerned with methodology for estimating population parameters associated with a geographic area defined by a cross‐classification that may also include non‐geographic dimensions. In this paper, we develop constrained estimation methods for small area problems: those requiring smoothness with respect to similarity ...

Small area estimation in the case of nonesponse
In this paper the effect of model and nonresponseadjustment on different types of estimators for the totals of small area domains is examined. The empirical results are based on Monte Carlo simulations with repeated samples drawn from a finite population

An Empirical Evaluation of Small Area Estimators [PDF]
Summary: This paper compares five small area estimators. We use Monte Carlo simulation in the context of both artificial and real populations. In addition to the direct and indirect estimators, we consider the optimal composite estimator with population weights, and two composite estimators with estimated weights: one that assumes homogeneity of within

Multivariate Small Area Estimation of Multidimensional Latent Economic Well‐being Indicators
Factor analysis models are used in data dimensionality reduction problems where the variability among observed variables can be described through a smaller number of unobserved latent variables.
