Abstract:
|
The American Housing Survey (AHS) produces many estimates regarding the U.S. housing market. In this paper, we examine the current AHS weighting procedures and apply a newly developed alternative single stage generalized raking method, which adjusts nonresponse, coverage, and calibration simultaneously. We use housing unit totals and head-of-household distributions as calibration constraints in a minimization of the objective function. After adjusting our weights, we develop replicate weights and calculate variance estimates to examine the discrepancies between the current and alternative weight adjustment methods.
