Rotation Patterns And Trend Estimation For Repeated Surveys Using Rotation Group Estimates, Craig Mclaren, David Steel Jun 2013

Rotation Patterns And Trend Estimation For Repeated Surveys Using Rotation Group Estimates, Craig Mclaren, David Steel

Professor David Steel

A general approach for constructing filters to produce trend estimates from a repeated survey is described. This approach accounts for the correlation structure induced by the rotation pattern used in the survey. Different filters are developed depending on whether the trend analysis is based on elementary estimates available for each rotation group or overall estimates obtained by combining the rotation group estimates. The properties of trend estimates obtained directly from the elementary estimates, those obtained from the simple average of the rotation group estimates and trend estimates obtained from the best linear unbiased estimates of the population characteristics of interest …


The Impact Of Different Rotation Patterns On The Sampling Variance Of Seasonally Adjusted And Trend Estimates, Craig Mclaren, David Steel Jun 2013

The Impact Of Different Rotation Patterns On The Sampling Variance Of Seasonally Adjusted And Trend Estimates, Craig Mclaren, David Steel

Professor David Steel

Many economic and social time series are based on sample surveys which have complex sample designs. The sample design affects the properties of the time series. In particular, the overlap of the sample from period to period affects the variability of the time series of survey estimates, and the seasonally adjusted and trend estimates produced from them. The Census X11 and X11ARIMA packages are commonly used to produce seasonally adjusted estimates and can also be used to produce estimates of trend. This paper considers the implications of different overlap patterns on the sampling variance of seasonally adjusted and trend estimates …


In Search Of A Good Rotation Pattern, David Steel, Craig Mclaren Jun 2013

In Search Of A Good Rotation Pattern, David Steel, Craig Mclaren

Professor David Steel

A key element in the design of a repeated sample survey is the rotation pattern, which affects the variability of the time series of survey estimates and the seasonally adjusted and trend estimates produced from them. This paper considers the choice of rotation pattern for seasonally adjusted and trend estimates obtained from a repeated survey, using XII based methods.
