Efficient Estimation of Non-Linear Finite Population Parameters by Using Non-Parametrics
利用非参数方法高效估计有限总体非线性参数
Summary Currently, high precision estimation of non-linear parameters such as Gini indices, low income proportions or other measures of inequality is particularly crucial. We propose a general class of estimators for such parameters that take into account univariate auxiliary information assumed to be known for every unit in the population. Through a non-parametric model-assisted approach, we construct a unique system of survey weights that can be used to estimate any…
