The Information In Aggregate Data, David Steel, Eric Beh, Raymond Chambers
Professor David Steel
Ecological inference attempts to draw conclusions concerning individual-level relationships using data in the form of aggregates for groups in the population. The groups are often geographically defined. A fundamental statistical issue is how much information aggregate data contain concerning the relationships and parameters that we are trying to estimate. The information affects the standard errors of estimates as well as the power of any tests of hypothesis. It also affects the ability to tell, from the aggregate data, which different models under consideration are supported by the data. In this chapter likelihood-based methods are considered. We show in general how …

This paper considers the choice of rotation pattern for seasonally adjusted and trend estimates obtained from a repeated survey, using XII based methods.

Dating In Landscape, Archaeology, Richard Roberts, Zenobia Jacobs
Richard G Roberts
A common need in archaeology is for objects and events of interest to be dated, so that they can be arranged in the correct temporal sequence. Here we briefly review several methods available to the archaeologist to assist in age determination of the "target" object or event-comprehensive treatments of the subject are given by Aitken 0990, 1999), Wagner (998), and Walker (2005).
