Generalized Linear Models for Small-Area Estimation
用于小区域估计的广义线性模型
Bayesian methods have been used quite extensively in recent years for solving small-area estimation problems. Particularly effective in this regard has been the hierarchical or empirical Bayes approach, which is especially suitable for a systematic connection of local areas through models. However, the development to date has mainly concentrated on continuous-valued variates. Often the survey data are discrete or categorical, so that hierarchical or empirical Bayes…
