Dear all,
The next seminar of the South Wales Group of the RSS is on Wednesday 4th
February at 5:00pm (4:30pm for tea) at the Office for National Statistics,
Newport.
The speakers will be Philip Clarke and Jane Longhurst (Office for National
Statistics). The title of their talk is
Model based estimates of income for wards
There is an increasing interest in obtaining income data at the smallest
possible geographical level principally for the identification of areas of
deprivation. As part of its Small Area Estimation Programme, the Methodology and
Quality Division at the Office for National Statistics has developed a
model-based approach for producing small area estimates of social survey
variables. This presentation will describe the general methodology and discuss
how it has been applied to the specific problem of estimating income at the ward
level for Great Britain.
All are welcome
