Small Area Estimation under Spatial Multivariate Fay–Herriot Model
Spatial version of multivariate Fay–Herriot model is introduced and
small area predictor under this model is proposed. The mean squared error (MSE)
estimation of the proposed small area predictor is also developed. The
empirical performance of the proposed small area predictor and the MSE
estimator are evaluated through simulation studies. The empirical results
clearly show that the proposed small area predictor outperforms the existing
predictors. The proposed MSE estimator tracks the actual value of MSE
reasonably well with acceptable coverage rate. An application to estimate the
disparities in food and nutrition intake from the 2011–12 Household Consumer
Expenditure Survey data collected by the national sample survey office of India
is also presented.
