Title: A Design Effect Measure for Calibration Weighting in Cluster Samples
Author(s): Kimberly Henry*+ and Richard Valliant
Companies: IRS/SOI and University of Michigan/University of Maryland
Keywords: Auxiliary data ; Kish weighting design effect ; Spencer design effect ; generalized regression estimator
Abstract:

We propose a model-based extension of weighting design-effect measures for two-stage sampling when calibration weighting is used. Our proposed design effect measure captures the joint effects of a nonepsem sampling design, unequal weights produced using calibration adjustments, and the strength of the association between an analysis variable and the auxiliaries used in calibration. The proposed measure is compared to existing design effect measures in an example involving household-type data.
