• Finite population small area interval estimation 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)
      Small area intervall estimation is considered for a finite population, where the small area parameters are treated as fixed constants. Design based direct estimation yealds intervals that are too long to be useful. Model ...
    • Simultaneous estimation of the mean of a binary variable from a large number of small areas 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      We develop a frequentist method of simultaneous small area estimation under hierarchical models. The simultaneous estimator is the best ensemble predictor under the model. It is preferable to the area-specific best predictor ...
    • Simultaneous estimation under nested error regression model 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)
      Zhang (2003) proposed a frequentist method of simultaneous small area estimation under hierarchical models. This can be useful when various ensemble characteristics of the small area parameters are of interest in addition ...
