Statistical inferences of extended concentration indices for directly standardized rates

Mandi Yu, Benmei Liu, Yan Li, Zhaohui (Joe) Zou, więcej

Statistics in Medicine > 38 > 1 > 62 - 73

The relative concentration index (RCI) and the absolute concentration index (ACI) have been widely used for monitoring health disparities with ranked health determinants.

Small area estimation has become a very active area of research in statistics. Many models studied in small area estimation focus on one or more variables of interest from a single survey without paying close attention to the nature of the covariates. It is useful to utilize the idea of borrowing strength from covariates to build a model which combines two (or multiple) surveys. In many real applications,...
