Selection of Auxiliary Variables for Three-Fold Linking Models in Small Area Estimation: A Simple and Effective Method
Model-based estimation of small area means can lead to reliable estimates when the area sample sizes are small. This is accomplished by borrowing strength across related areas using models linking area means to related covariates and random area effects. The effective selection of variables to be in...
