Thus, the AGFH model can express any distribution in the sampling model since the choice of [Formula: see text] is extremely broad. We propose a Bayesian modelling scheme for AGFH where the unknown function [Formula: see text] is assigned a Gaussian Process prior. Using a Metropolis within Gibbs sampling Markov Chain Monte Carlo scheme, we study the performance of the AGFH model, along with that of a hierarchical Bayesian extension of the Fay-Herriot model. Our analysis shows that the AGFH is an excellent modelling alternative when the sampling distribution is non-Normal, especially in the case where the sampling distribution is bounded. It is also the best choice when the sampling variance is high. However, the hierarchical Bayesian framework and the traditional empirical Bayesian framework can be good modelling alternatives when the signal-to-noise ratio is high, and there are computational constraints.

However, survey estimates are subject to larger uncertainty at finer levels than at higher levels, and often not even available at fine levels. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is considered the nation’s premier system collecting health data from individuals in the US using telephone surveys. Among the BRFSS official statistics, state-level estimates are available for two related health prevalence quantities: the prevalence of having a personal doctor and the prevalence of having health insurance coverage. No county-level BRFSS estimates are released for these quantities. In addition, county-level estimates for the prevalence of having health insurance coverage are also available from the US. Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) program. This article addresses the disaggregation of the state-level prevalence of having a personal doctor to the county level, by using the state-level relationship between the two BRFSS prevalence variables and the county-level bridge between the BRFSS and the SAHIE prevalence of having health insurance coverage. Using 2018 public-use data, county-level model estimates are produced for both prevalence variables and on both BRFSS and SAHIE scales, improving the usability of the BRFSS public-use data.
