BLUP definition
Examples of BLUP in a sentence
Replacing the derived estimates for the pa- rameters in the Spatial BLUP leads to the so called Spatial EBLUP.
In the case of non-linear small area parameters, the BLUP and the EBLUP under a unit level model are not defined.
The Spatial BLUP θ˜d (ω) depends on the unknown vector of variance components ω= (σ2, ρ)′.
Combining (4.4) and (4.6) the model is y = Xβ+ (ID − ρW)−1u + e (4.8) Under model (4.8), the Spatial BLUP of the quantity of interest θd = xdβ+ vd is θ˜d (ω) = xdβ˜(ω) + bd′ G(ω)V−1(ω)[y − Xβ˜(ω)], (4.9) where β˜(ω) = [X′V−1(ω)X]−1X′V−1(ω)y is the generalized least squares estimator of the regression parameter β and b′d is the 1 × D vector (0,...
