Finite population small area interval estimation
Finite population small area interval estimation
Small area interval estimation is considered for a finite population, where the small area parameters are treated as fixed constants. Design based direct estimation yields intervals that are too long to be useful. Model based approaches are considered. The design based area-specific coverages are uncontrollable. We propose to use population-specific simultaneous coverage as the basis for evaluating the small area confidence intervals. Wage survey and census household data are used for illustration.

Abstract
Small area interval estimation is considered for a finite population, where the small area parameters are treated as fixed constants. Design based direct estimation yields intervals that are too long to be useful. Model based approaches are considered. The design based area-specific coverages are uncontrollable. We propose to use population-specific simultaneous coverage as the basis for evaluating the small area confidence intervals. Wage survey and census household data are used for illustration.
