Robust Small Area Estimation and Oversampling in the Estimation of Poverty Indicators

Survey Research Methods, 2012
There has been rising interest in research on poverty mapping over the last decade, with the European Union proposing a core of statistical indicators on poverty commonly known as Laeken Indicators. They include the incidence and the intensity of poverty

Small area estimation under a measurement error bivariate Fay–Herriot model

Statistical Methods & Applications, 2020
The bivariate Fay–Herriot model is an area-level linear mixed model that can be used for estimating the domain means of two correlated target variables.

Small area estimation with covariates perturbed for disclosure limitation

Statistica, 2015
We exploit the connections between measurement error and data perturbation for disclosure limitation in the context of small area estimation. Our starting point is the model in Ybarra and Lohr (2008), where some of the covariates (all continuous) are ...

BETA-BINOMIAL MODEL IN SMALL AREA ESTIMATION USING HIERARCHICAL LIKELIHOOD APPROACH

Media Statistika, 2023
Small Area Estimation is a statistical method used to estimate parameters in sub-populations with small or even no sample sizes. This research aims to evaluate the Beta-Binomial model's performance for estimating small areas at the area level.

Outlier Robust Small Area Estimation [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 2013
SummaryRecently proposed outlier robust small area estimators can be substantially biased when outliers are drawn from a distribution that has a different mean from that of the rest of the survey data. This naturally leads one to consider an outlier robust bias correction for these estimators.

Small area estimation of proportions under area-level compositional mixed models

Test (Madrid), 2019
This paper introduces area-level compositional mixed models by applying transformations to a multivariate Fay–Herriot model. Small area estimators of the proportions of the categories of a classification variable are derived from the new model, and the ...

Clinical and Biological Features of Response in Resistant Neuroblastoma to 131I‐Metaiodobenzylguanidine Radiotherapy in the Anti‐GD2 Immunotherapy Era

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.
