Abstract:

The new design of the Annual Survey of Public Employment and Payroll involves PPS sampling drawn from substrata defined by small and large unit size within strata defined by state and governmental type. Survey estimates of population totals (Cheng, Slud and Hogue 2010) are assembled from stratum and substratum regression estimates after applying a hypothesis test for equality of regression slopes in deciding whether to collapse substrata. This talk describes large-sample theory and moderate-sample implementation for the bootstrap estimation of variance of the resulting survey estimates, under superpopulation models for which regression slopes within substrata are either precisely the same or slightly different.
