A framework for analyzing rank ordered data with application to automobile demand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)In this paper we develop a general random utility framework for analyzing data on individuals' rank orderings. Specifically, we show that in the case with 3 alternatives one can express the probability of a particular rank ... -
Axiomatization of stochastic models for choice under uncertainty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)This paper develops a theory of probabilistic models for risky choices. This theory can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory. One probabilistic version of the Archimedean Axiom and two versions of the ... -
Decomposition of rank-dependent measures of inequality by subgroups
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Summary - The purpose of additive subgroup decomposition is to study the relationship between overall inequality and inequality within and between population subgroups defined by variables like gender, age, education and ... -
Discrete choice in continuous time : implications of an intertemporal version of the IIA property
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)This paper proposes a particular behavioral axiom to characterize the stochastic structure of static discrete choice models with serially correlated utilities. This assumption extends Luce’s axiom; “Independence from ... -
The Effects of Using Administrative Registers in Economic Short Term Statistics: The Norwegian Labour Force Survey as a Case Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)ABSTRACT: In the case of a single survey at one point in time, it is well known that combining administrative registers with survey data often substantially improves the quality of estimation. However, in short term ... -
Efficient simulated maximum likelihood estimation through explicitly parameter dependent importance sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)There exists an overall negative assessment of the performance of the simulated maximum likelihood algorithm in the statistics literature, founded on both theoretical and empirical results. At the same time, there also ... -
Estimates for small area compositions subjected to informative missing data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Abstract Estimation of small area (or domain) compositions may suffer from informative missing data, if the probability of missing varies across the categories of interest as well as the small areas. We develop a double ... -
Finite population small area interval estimation
(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 ... -
Identifying and reducing response burdens in internet business surveys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)Response burden is of great concern in survey data collection activities. Despite extensive efforts on the part of data collection agencies to reduce the burden the problem seems to prevail. In this article we discuss how ... -
Likelihood and statistical evidence in survey sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)A comparison is made of the two concepts, generalized likelihood (from Bjørnstad, 1996) and Royall's measure of empirical statistical evidence in prediction problems, here called evidential likelihood, applied to ... -
Metoder for politiske meningsmålinger
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1977)Beregningsmetodene som brukes i de forskjellige politiske meningsmålinger har vært gjenstand for mye diskusjon i dagspressen det siste året. Lite er derimot gjort for å forsøke å kvantsere forskjellene mellom de ulike ... -
Modeling and estimation methods for household size in the presence of nonignorable nonresponse applied to the Norwegian consumer expenditure survey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)This paper considers the problem of estimating, in the presence of considerable nonignorable nonresponse, the number of private households of various sizes and the total number of households in Norway. The approach is ... -
Neural network imputation applied to the Norwegian 1990 population census data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1996)Abstract: When adequate administrative registers are available, population censuses can be carried out by supplementing the administrative data with data compiled from sample surveys. A problem is, however, to obtain ... -
Non-Bayesian mulitple imputation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)Multiple imputation is a method specifically designed for variance estimation in the presence of missing data. Rubin’s combination formula requires that the imputation method is proper, which essentially means that the ... -
A note on post-stratification when analyzing binary survey data subject to nonresponse
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1999)In this article we presents some results regarding the effect of post-stratification when analyzing binary survey data to nonresponse. Assuming that nonresponse depends on the variable of interest which is missing for ... -
A note on the effect of auxiliary information on the variance of cluster sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)A model-based synthesis is presented for a number of well-known results concerning the design effect of cluster sampling. This helps to yield a simpler perspective, making the design-based expressions more transparent. ... -
On some common practices of systematic sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)Systematic sampling is widely used technique in survey sampling. It is easy to execute, whether the units are to be selected with equal probability or with probabilities proportional to auxiliary sizes. It can be very ... -
On the Bias in Gross Labour Flow Estimates Due to Nonresponse and Misclassification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Abstract: I evaluate and compare the bias due to nonresponse and misclassification in the sample gross labour flow estimates from the Norwegian Labour Force Survey (LFS). These help also to explain the level and net change ... -
Quality Issues at Statistics Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)Statistics Norway has like other National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) worked with quality for many years, but we have now started a systematic approach, inspired by the TQM principles and the work on this in several NSIs. ... -
Simultaneous estimation of the mean of a binary variable from a large number of small areas
(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 ...
