Abstract:

Non-parametric model using penalized spline regression in small area estimation context was proposed by Opsomer et al (2008). Wang et al (2015) applied this technique in granular area estimations. It was shown to be a useful tool to provide supplemental information where survey observations are few or non-existent. In this paper we further examine semiparametric generalized linear mixed model in producing consistent estimations for multiple area levels. We use the mosaic analogy to describe the process. We employ a design-based Jackknife method for variance calculation.
