Synthetic estimation in periodic household surveys
Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700254832Description: In periodic household surveys, area samples are usually selected in geographic strata with probability of selection of areal units proportional to population size in these units. The design-based estimates for areas composed of domains within strata can have poor precision due to cluster sampling with a few primary sampling units per stratum. In this paper, synthetic estimates are investigated as an alternative to these estimates. An empirical evaluation based on the design of the Canadian Labour Force, Survey is given.
