This paper reviews the design-based, model-assisted approach to using data from a
complex survey together with auxiliary information to estimate finite population parameters …

Supplement to “Approaches to Improving Survey-Weighted Estimates”. The Supplementary
Material includes the density plots of the size variables, and dot plots summarizing the …

Assessing the abundance of biological populations is a central technical challenge in
ecology, whether fundamental or applied. Although the question faced is simple, it is actually …

Abstract Sinha & Rao (2009) proposed estimation procedures designed for small-area
means, based on robustified maximum likelihood estimators and robust empirical best linear …

We have used the generalized linearization technique based on the concept of influence
function, as Osier has done (Osier 2009), to estimate the variance of complex statistics such …

Modern systems of official statistics require the estimation and publication of business
statistics for disaggregated domains, for example, industry domains and geographical …

Establishment surveys are characterized by skewed populations, with a few large units
having a disproportionate contribution to statistics, and a large number of smaller units. They …

Probability weights are used in many areas of research including complex survey designs,
missing data analysis, and adjustment for confounding factors. They are useful analytic tools …

In business surveys, it is not unusual to collect economic variables for which the distribution
is highly skewed. In this context, winsorization is often used to treat the problem of influential …

Analyzing polytomous response from a complex survey scheme, like stratified or cluster
sampling is very crucial in several socio-economics applications. We present a class of …
