How Nearly Can Model-Based Prediction and Design-Based Estimation Be Reconciled?
模型预测与设计估计能够协调到何种程度?
Two general linear model-based predictors, one of the expectation of a finite population total and one of that total itself, are compared with the design-based generalized regression estimator (GRE). First, the predictors are made to conform to the GRE by modifying the regression parameter estimators but retaining the same (optimal) inclusion probabilities. Second, the GRE is made to conform with each of the predictors in turn by modifying the inclusion probabilities but…
