Abstract:
|
Scheer and Levitan propose a modification to the Census-recommended American Community Survey variance estimator, designed to incorporate additional error introduced from variables imputed from auxiliary data sets. This paper will assess this approach, considering the statistical properties of the estimation strategy and its usefulness for applied researchers. Connections will be made to alternative methods for presenting uncertainty in small area estimates and to variance estimation for microsimulation models.
