- Articles and reports: 12-001-X19980013907Description:
Least squares estimation for repeated surveys is addressed. Several estimators of current level, change in level and average level for multiple time periods are developed. The Recursive Regression Estimator, a recursive computational form of the best linear unbiased estimator based on all periods of the survey, is presented. It is shown that the recursive regression procedure converges; and that the dimension of the estimation problem is bounded as the number of periods increases indefinitely. The recursive procedure offers a solution to the problem of computational complexity associated with minimum variance unbiased estimation in repeated surveys. Data from the U.S. Current Population Survey are used to compare alternative estimators under two types of rotation designs: the intermittent rotation design used in the U.S. Current Population Survey, and two continuous rotation designs.
Release date: 1998-07-31 - 2. 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.
