摘要

提出的总体均值估计量是基于对辅助变量分布形状的修改。如果研究与辅助变量之间的理论相关性小于与辅助变量的变异系数除以研究变量的变异系数成正比的一项，则对辅助变量分布的修改可以减小估计器的偏置和均方误差。仿真验证了分析结果。对泰国南空气污染数据的应用表明，平均而言，与基于未修改辅助变量的估计器相比，基于修改辅助变量的估计器的偏差减少了70%至98%，均方误差减少了91%至100%。

Bias and mean square error reduction by changing the shape of the distribution of an auxiliary variable: application to air pollution data in Nan, Thailand

ABSTRACT The proposed estimator of the population mean is based on a modification of the shape of the distribution of an auxiliary variable. If the theoretical correlation between the study and the auxiliary variables is less than a term that is proportional to the coefficient of variation of the auxiliary variable divided by the coefficient of variation of the study variable, then the modification of the distribution of the auxiliary variable reduces the bias and the mean square error of the estimator. A simulation confirms the analytical results. Application to air pollution data in Nan, Thailand, shows that on average, the biases of the estimators based on the modified auxiliary variable are reduced by 70% to 98% and the mean square errors by 91% to 100% compared to the estimators based on the unmodified auxiliary variable.

期刊介绍： Mathematical Population Studies publishes carefully selected research papers in the mathematical and statistical study of populations. The journal is strongly interdisciplinary and invites contributions by mathematicians, demographers, (bio)statisticians, sociologists, economists, biologists, epidemiologists, actuaries, geographers, and others who are interested in the mathematical formulation of population-related questions. The scope covers both theoretical and empirical work. Manuscripts should be sent to Manuscript central for review. The editor-in-chief has final say on the suitability for publication.
