Document worth reading: “Unit Level Modeling of Survey Data for Small Area Estimation Under Informative Sampling: A Comprehensive Overview with Extensions”

Model-based small house estimation is ceaselessly utilized in conjunction with survey data as a strategy to arrange estimates for under-sampled or unsampled geographies. These fashions will probably be specified at each the area-level, or the unit-level, nevertheless unit-level fashions sometimes present potential advantages akin to further actual estimates and easy spatial aggregation. Nevertheless, relative to area-level fashions literature on unit-level fashions is far much less prevalent. In modeling small areas on the unit stage, challenges sometimes come up as a consequence of the informative sampling mechanism used to collect the survey data. This paper provides a whole methodological evaluation for unit-level fashions beneath informative sampling, with an emphasis on Bayesian approaches. To current notion into the variations between methods, we conduct a simulation analysis that compares a quantity of of the described approaches. In addition, the methods used for simulation are further illustrated through an software program to the American Community Survey. Finally, we present a quantity of extensions and areas for future evaluation.
