Resumen de Bayesian transformed models for small area estimation

Getachew A. Dagne

  • Sample surveys are usually designed and analyzed to produce estimates for larger areas. However, sample sizes are often not large enough to give adequate precision for small area estimates of interest. To overcome such difficulties, borrowing strength from related small areas via modeling becomes an appropriate approach. In line with this, we propose hierarchical models with power transformations for improving the precision of small area predictions. The proposed methods are applied to satellite data in conjunction with survey data to estimate mean acreage under a specified crop for counties in Iowa
