Weighting for non-monotonic response pattern in longitudinal surveys
Sadig, Husam - 2014
In longitudinal studies, analysis can be based on any one of a large number of wavecombinations. However, only one set of non-response weights (often based on respondents from all waves up to the latest) is typically offered on public use data files. We refer to this as a single weighting...

Robust small area estimation under spatial non-stationarity
Baldermann, Claudia; Salvati, Nicola; Schmid, Timo - 2016
Geographically weighted small area methods have been studied in literature for small area estimation. Although these approaches are useful for the estimation of small area means efficiently under strict parametric assumptions, they can be very sensitive to outliers in the data. In this paper, we...

A simple feasible alternative procedure to estimate models with high-dimensional fixed effects
Guimarães, Paulo (contributor); Portugal, Pedro (contributor) - 2009
In this paper we describe an alternative iterative approach for the estimation of linear regression models with high-dimensional fixed-effects such as large employer-employee data sets. This approach is computationally intensive but imposes minimum memory requirements. We also show that the...
