Regression composite estimation for the Canadian Labour Force Survey with a rotating panel design

We consider the regression composite estimation introduced by Singh (1994, 1996; termed earlier as "modified regression composite" estimation), a version of which (suggested by Fuller 1999) has been implemented for the Canadian Labour Force Survey (CLFS) beginning in January 2000. The regression composite (rc) estimator enhances the generalized regression (gr) estimator used earlier for the CLFS and the well known Gurney-Daly ak-composite estimator in several ways.
