Assessment on small area estimation methods

• Research unit: SFSO
• Project number: 0150000457

Key words (German)

small area assessment population

Short description (German)

To reproduce the simulation study carried out for Spanish data using Swiss data, in order to find the most suitable techniques for estimation of the active population in domains (communes or larger domains to be defined by the principal).
To study criteria for identifying the domains where the techniques provide reliable estimates.
To transmit the knowledge to the principal (this includes the writing of a report, the transmission of programs, oral presentations, discussions with the principal, etc.)
