A non-linear hierarchical modelling approach for census undercoverage estimation / Yong You.: CS92-0049/2000E-PDF
"Area-level nonlinear mixed effects models are considered in this paper for Canada census undercoverage estimation. We fit an area-level nonlinear mixed effects model to the province-level undercoverage survey estimates. In particular, the sampling model is based on the survey estimate of the undercoverage count, and the linking model is a log-linear model for the undercoverage rate. A full hierarchical Bayes (HB) approach is developed to obtain the posterior estimates of the census undercoverage using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling methods. Our result shows that the proposed method can provide efficient model-based estimates. Analysis of model fitting is also presented using posterior predictive distributions, and the corresponding result indicates that the proposed model fits the data quite well."--Abstract.
