- 1. Estimation of variance of general regression estimator: Higher level calibration approach ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X19980013908Description:
In the present investigation, the problem of estimation of variance of the general linear regression estimator has been considered. It has been shown that the efficiency of the low level calibration approach adopted by Särndal (1996) is less than or equal to that of a class of estimators proposed by Deng and Wu (1987). A higher level calibration approach has also been suggested. The efficiency of higher level calibration approach is shown to improve on the original approach. Several estimators are shown to be the special cases of this proposed higher level calibration approach. An idea to find a non-negative estimate of variance of the GREG has been suggested. Results have been extended to a stratified random sampling design. An empirical study has also been carried out to study the performance of the proposed strategies. The well known statistical package, GES, developed at Statistics Canada can further be improved to obtain better estimates of variance of GREG using the proposed higher level calibration approach under certain circumstances discussed in this paper.
