  1. Optimal Sampling Strategies for Multidomain, Multivariate Case with different amount of auxiliary information Piero Demetrio Falorsi , Paolo Righi falorsi@istat.it , parighi@istat.it Italian National Statistical Institute Seminar UNECE, 12 June 2012

  2. Outline • Aim of the talk • Statement of the problem • (The unified approach for) sampling design • (Mgreg) Estimator • Experimental results • Conclusions

  3. Aim of the talk An overall strategy

  4. Statement of the problem

  5. Statement of the problem: Challenging informative contextMultiple sources of auxiliary information

  6. Statement of the problem: Design

  7. Statement of the problem: Estimation • Standard solution for estimation (calibration estimators) may allow for calibrating at domain level only for the register variables and does not calibrate on the domain existing totals deriving from auxiliary data sources • Main drawback: • Too small sample size for some domains • Riskthat the estimation of variables that could derive from administrative Data Source are significantly different from known totals Biased estimation for small domains Effect of non response or measurement error

  8. Sampling Design: Multiple sources of auxiliary information

  9. Sampling Design: Multiple sources of auxiliary information

  10. Sampling Design: Multiple sources of auxiliary information

  11. Estimation: Multiple sources of auxiliary information

  12. Estimation:The Working model

  13. Estimation:The Mgreg Estimator

  14. Estimation: Properties

  15. Estimation: Properties

  16. Estimation: Properties - auxiliary=interest

  17. Empirical Results: Population of simulation - 1999 Italian enterprises from 1 to 99 employees- Computer and related economic activities (2-digits NACE Rev.1) The domains of interest (44): (1) geographical region with 20 marginal domains (DOM1); (2) economic activity groupby Size class (24 domains) ITACOSM 2011 - 27-29 June 2011, Pisa, Italy - 12

  18. Empirical Results: Simulation: allocation comparison between the one-way and multi-way design M1 M2 Model % Labour cost Value added 68.1 64.1 65.1 61.0 • Prediction models:

  19. Empirical Results: multiple sources of auxiliary information: example – efficiency of the proposed strategy Sampling distributions over the partition with different auxiliary information

  20. Conclusions

  21. Conclusions • The last result (The unified approach) of a research that has lasted almost 6 years • Survey Methodology (2008) • Statistics in Transition (2006) • 2 books published by Franco Angeli illustrating the main findings of a research of strategic interest financed by the Ministry of University and Research • Presentations NTTS (2011), Neuchatel (2011) • Invited talk to the next scientific conference of the Italian Society of Statistics • Accepted talk for the ICES
