Abstract:
|
Generalized linear models are popular tools to study normal and non-normal data. They can fit spatial-dependent data and a popular model in this class is the probit-normal model. In this study, we analyze complex survey data when units are sampled with unequal probability. We propose a Bayesian approach to estimate the model parameters in this complex spatial probit model. We illustrate our method with data of 2009 Chilean Crime Victimization Survey Data. Work funded by grant ANILLO ACT87.
