Estimating characteristics of domains (referred to as small areas) within a population from
sample surveys of the population is an important problem in survey statistics. In this paper …

This chapter discusses design‐based model‐assisted methods for the estimation of
indicators on inequality and poverty for population subgroups or domains and small areas …

In business surveys, generalized regression (GREG) and model-calibration (MC) estimation
can be used for design-based estimation of totals for population subgroups or domains. In …

In this paper, we discuss generalized regression (GREG) estimation and model-calibration
estimation for population subgroups or domains under unequal probability sampling. The …

Calibration constitutes a flexible tool for design-based estimation for finite populations. The
traditional model-free calibration has been routinely used for estimation for populations and …

We examine in the paper the statistical properties (design bias and accuracy) of certain
calibration estimators for the estimation of finite population parameters for population …
