Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. Demand for reliable statistics at a local area (small area) level has greatly increased in recent years. Traditional area-specific estimators based on probability samples are not adequate becau…
Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. The empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP) method has been the dominant model-based approach in small area estimation. As an alternative to this frequentist method, the observed best…
Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. This article offers a non-technical review of selected applications that combine survey and geospatial data to generate small area estimates of wealth or poverty. Publicly available data from s…

Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 155-172, November 2023. The small area estimation (SAE) theory is widely used when local or domain-specific reliable estimates based on survey data are needed. Small area model-based e…
Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. Sverchkov and Pfeffermann[16] consider Small Area Estimation (SAE) under informative probability sampling of areas and within the sampled areas, and not missing at random (NMAR) nonresponse. To…
Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. We present a new semiparametric extension of the Fay-Herriot model, termed the agnostic Fay-Herriot model (AGFH), in which the sampling-level model is expressed in terms of an unknown general f…
Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. Disaggregated statistics help improve the description of the society. However, survey estimates are subject to larger uncertainty at finer levels than at higher levels, and often not even avail…
Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. Chambers and Dunstan proposed a model-based predictor of the population distribution function that makes use of auxiliary population information under a general sampling design. Subsequently, R…
Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, Ahead of Print. Small area estimation is gaining increasing popularity among survey statisticians. Since the direct estimates of small areas usually have large standard errors, model-based approaches are often…
