Abstract:

The Subcommittee on Small Area Estimation was formed in 1991 to document the uses of indirect estimators by Federal statistical agencies to prepare and publish estimates. An indirect estimator uses values of the variable of interest from a domain and/or time period other than the domain and time period of the estimate being produced. Users of indirect estimators should consider the errors to which these estimates are subject. Eight programs that publish indirect estimators are described in this report. These programs sometimes respond to legislative requirements or, alternatively, to State data needs. The programs and sponsor agencies are: infant and maternal health characteristics (National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)); personal income, annua1 income, and gross product (Bureau of Economic Analysis); postcensal population estimates for counties (Bureau of the Census (BOC)); employment and unemployment for States (Bureau of Labor Statistics); cotton, rice, and soybean acreage (National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)); livestock inventories, crop production, and acreage (NASS); disabilities, hospital utilization, physician and dental visits (NCHS); and median income for 4-person families (BOC).
