Improved Confidence Regions in Meta-analysis of Diagnostic Test Accuracy
Tsubasa Ito, Shonosuke Sugasawa
Meta-analyses of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies have been gathering attention in research in clinical epidemiology and health technology development, and bivariate random-e…
Corrected Empirical Bayes Confidence Region in a Multivariate Fay-Herriot Model
Tsubasa Ito, Tatsuya Kubokawa
In the small area estimation, the empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) in the linear mixed model is useful because it gives a stable estimate for a mean of a smallarea.…
On Measuring the Variability of Small Area Estimators in a Multivariate Fay-Herriot Model
Tsubasa Ito, Tatsuya Kubokawa
This paper is concerned with the small area estimation in the multivariate Fay-Herriot model where covariance matrix of random effects are fully unknown. The covariance matrix is e…
Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Predictors in Multivariate Nested-Error Regression Models
Tsubasa Ito, Tatsuya Kubokawa
For analyzing unit-level multivariate data in small area estimation, we consider the multivariate nested error regression model (MNER) and provide the empirical best linear unbiase…
