Title: Unified Methods for Calibration in Some Missing Data and Sampling Problems

Abstract:

Consider three different but related problems with auxiliary information: infinite population sampling or Monte Carlo with control variates, missing data under ignorability, and Poisson and rejective sampling with auxiliary variables. We demonstrate, in a unified manner, calibrated regression and likelihood estimators for these problems. This approach will effectively resolve long-standing issues in two existing approaches: how to achieve efficiency, while allowing for misspecification of a super-population model, in generalized regression and calibration estimation and how to find a simple approximation in optimal regression estimation.
