Impact of existence and nonexistence of pivot on the coverage of empirical best linear prediction intervals for small areas
Yuting Chen, Masayo Y. Hirose, Partha Lahiri
We advance the theory of parametric bootstrap in constructing highly efficient empirical best (EB) prediction intervals of small area means. The coverage error of such a prediction…
