Empirical bootstrap bias correction and estimation of prediction mean square error in small area estimation
小区域估计的经验自助偏差校正与预测均方误差估计
We develop a method for bias correction, which models the error of the target estimator as a function of the corresponding estimator obtained from bootstrap samples, and the original estimators and bootstrap estimators of the parameters governing the model fitted to the sample data. This is achieved by considering a number of plausible parameter values, generating a pseudo original sample for each parameter and bootstrap samples for each such sample, and then searching for…
