Robust Model-Based and Model-Assisted Predictors of the Finite Population Total
有限总体总量的稳健模型预测与模型辅助预测
The prediction approach to finite population inference has received considerable attention in recent years. Under this approach, the finite population is assumed to be a realization from a superpopulation described by a known probability model, usually a linear model. The prediction approach is often criticized for its lack of robustness against model misspecification. In this article we revisit this important issue and introduce a new robust prediction approach in which the…
