- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202500100007Description: We introduce a novel approach to model-assisted calibration estimation in survey sampling using generalized entropy. The method builds upon recent work by Kwon, Kim and Qiu (2024) and extends it to a model-assisted framework. Unlike traditional calibration techniques, this approach employs a generalized entropy function as the objective for optimization and incorporates a debiasing calibration constraint to ensure design consistency. The proposed estimator is shown to be asymptotically equivalent to an augmented generalized regression (GREG) estimator. It allows for unequal model variance, potentially improving efficiency when the sampling design is informative. The paper presents both design-based and model-based justifications for the method, along with asymptotic properties and variance estimation techniques. Computational aspects are discussed, including an unconstrained optimization approach that facilitates implementation, especially for high-dimensional auxiliary variables. The method’s performance is evaluated through a simulation study, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving estimation efficiency, particularly when the sampling design is informative.Release date: 2025-06-30
