Spatial Smoothing for Categorical Data Work Session On Statistical Data Editing May 17, 2005 Yves Thibaudeau William E. Winkler
Population Model (Valliant Dorfman Royal 2002) • Tract Level (~2000 Housing Units) • Superpopulation Model? • Loglinear Model • All 2nd Order Interactions
Spatial Patterns • Vacancy Status (Occupied, Vacant) • New Construction ( < 1 Year ) • 2 x 2 Table • Unit x Neighbor: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 Table • 10 Degrees of Freedoms
Spatial Transition Probabilities • Can Estimate with EM Algorithm (Thibaudeau 2002) • Can Estimate in the Context of A Linear Regression
Imputation through Spatial Modeling • Imputation of Vacancy / Age Conditional on Neighbor • Flip Coin Loaded with Estimated Transition Probabilities • Smooth Over Track-Level Estimates
Spatial Modeling – Discussion • Can Account for More Covariates • Tend to do well over extended areas (state) • Does poorly at the small area level (block)
