The Fay-Herriot model, generally uses the EBLUP (Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) method, is less flexible due to the assumption of linearity. The P-Spline semiparametric model is a modification of the Fay-Herriot model which can accommodate the presence of two components, linear and nonlinear predictors. This paper also deals spatial dependence among the random area effects so that a model with spatially autocorrelated errors will be implemented, known as the SEBLUP (Spatial Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) method. Using data from SUSENAS, PODES, and some publication from BPS, the main objective of this study is to estimate the mean years school at kecamatan level in Kabupaten Bogor using EBLUP, Semiparametric P-Spline approach and SEBLUP method. The results show that based on the RRMSE value, the cubic P-Spline model with three knots predicts the mean years school better than EBLUP. Meanwhile, the addition of spatial effects into the small area estimation has not been able to improve the estimated value of the P-Spline semiparametric approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
