- Title
Combining Administrative and Survey Data to Derive Small-area Estimates Using Loglinear Modelling.

- Abstract
Structure-preserving estimation (SPREE) is currently used to derive small-area estimates of unemployment in New Zealand using data from the Household Labour Force Survey and the Ministry of Social Development. Noble et al. ( Journal of Official Statistics 18: 45–60, 2002) advocate loglinear modelling as a major improvement and substitute for SPREE. The algorithm, however, is difficult to implement in SAS, the common statistical platform for the public sector, because of three major problems: (1) their way of writing the design matrix is incompatible with the ‘Proc Genmod’ procedure in SAS; (2) an important step in estimating cell frequencies from survey margins is unclear in the modelling procedure; and (3) the user has to manually write the design matrix of the model. This paper resolves these problems, provides novel SAS programs for implementing the approach, and discusses the implications.
