This article considers the familiar but very important problem of how to estimate the mean squared error (MSE) of seasonally adjusted and trend estimators produced by X-11-ARIMA or other decomposition methods. The MSE estimators are obtained by defining the unknown target components such as the...

In this article we study the use of the sample distribution for the prediction of finite population totals under single-stage sampling. The proposed predictors condition on the sample values of the target outcome variable, the sampling weights of the sample units and possibly on known population...
