On the asymptotic normality and variance estimation of nondifferentiable survey estimators
msra(2010)
摘要
Survey estimators of population quantities such as distribution functions and quantiles contain nondifferentiable functions of estimated quantities. The theo- retical properties of such estimators are substantially more complicated to de- rive than those of differentiable estimators. In this article, we provide a unified framework for obtaining the asymptotic design-based properties of two common types of nondifferentiable estimators. Estimators of the first type have an ex- plicit expression, while the second is defined only as the solution to estimating equations. We propose both analytical and replication-based design consistent variance estimators that use kernel regression to estimate limits of nondifferen-
