In this paper we propose two bias correction approaches in order to reduce the prediction bias of the robust M-quantile predictors in small area estimation in the presence of representative outliers. A Monte- Carlo simulation study is conducted. Results confirm that our approaches improve the efficiency and reduce the prediction bias of M-quantile predictors when the population contains units that may be influential if selected in the sample.

Abstract

In this paper we propose two bias correction approaches in order to reduce the prediction bias of the robust M-quantile predictors in small area estimation in the presence of representative outliers. A Monte- Carlo simulation study is conducted. Results confirm that our approaches improve the efficiency and reduce the prediction bias of M-quantile predictors when the population contains units that may be influential if selected in the sample.
