Model-based prediction of finite population totals

This chapter describes the idea of balanced samples and shows that BLUP of total based on models fulfilling certain conditions are bias-robust in weighted balanced samples. One of the practical constraints in many survey applications is that a sample that is selected to be balanced does not remain so at the analysis stage. Losses due… Continue reading Model-based prediction of finite population totals
