  1. A new version of the CALMAR calibration adjustment program

  2. The CALMAR2 macros

  3. I.1. Background CALMAR = CALibration on MARgins CALMAR 1 = SAS macro program, written in 1992-1993 at France’s INSEE by Sautory Scope : implementing calibration methods developped by Deville & Särndal (JASA, 1992) CALMAR 2 = SAS macro, written in 2000 at France’s INSEE Scope : implementing generalized calibration method for handling total non-response (Deville, 1998)

  4. I.2. What’s new in CALMAR 2 • Simultaneous calibration with 2 or 3 levels • Total non- response adjustment using generalized calibration • Handling collinearities between auxiliary variables • A 5th distance function : generalized hyperbolic sine • Interactive screens to enter parameters, thanks to • CALMAR2_GUIDE

  5. Simultaneous calibration

  6. II.1. The method • Informations are collected at several levels of observation :  • households + every household’s member • or : firms + every establishment of the firms • i.e. cluster sampling survey, including questions about the clusters • households + some of their members (Kish individuals)  • i.e. two-stages sampling, including questions about the primary units (P.U.) • households + every household’s member + Kish units • + auxiliary information available at every level

  7. How performing calibration ? • Independent calibration at every level of observation   • Simultaneous calibration (or "integrated") :   - same weights for all members of a household   - consistency between statistics obtained from varied data files Simultaneous calibration method A single calibration is performed at the P.U. level, after having computed the calibration variables totals defined at the secondary levels for each P.U. (Sautory, 1996)

  8. II.2. An example • households (sM sample) • all the members of the selected households (sI sample) • one member (Kish individual) in each selected • household m, chosen by simple random sampling among • the eligible members of the household (sK sample)  Weight of the household m : Weight of the member i of the household m : Weight of the Kish-individual of the household m :

  9. Auxiliary information   = auxiliary variables vector for each household m in = vector of the known auxiliary variables totals in the households population = auxiliary variables vector for each individual (m,i) in sI = vector of the known totals in the individuals population = auxiliary variables vector for the Kish- individual in   = vector of the known totals in the Kish-units population

  10. For each household m we compute : • the totals of the individual variables : • the estimatedtotals of the Kish- individual variables : • Vector of the calibration variables for the household m : • Vector of the totals : (X , Z, V)  • Calibration equations :

  11.  weights = weight of the household m in = weight of the individual (m,i) of the household m in = weight of the Kish-individual of the household m in The 3 samples are correctly calibrated on totals X, Z et V :

  12. Calmar 2 performs such simultaneous calibrations. The user must provide the entry tables for the various levels (sample data files and calibration variables totals files) : the program performs all the required operations necessary to reduce the process to a single calibration, and creates the varied calibrated weights files.

  13. An example of simultaneous calibration

  14. The survey • Sampling design : two stages sampling • primary units = households, selected by stratified sampling with S.R.S. in the stratum • secondary units (Kish-units) = one member per selected household, withdrawn by S.R.S. among more than 14 years old members • Questionary • variables of interest are measured on Kish-units • questions about the habitation and the whole family • questions about each member of the household (age, sex, profession) • Calibration variables (xk) • Households : household size + head of household professional group + strata (~ agglomeration size) • All individuals : sex + age group • Kish individuals : sex + age group • Population totals (X) come from the sampling frame

  15. The program

  16. %CALMAR2(datamen=base.echant_menages, • marmen=base.marge_men, • poids=poids1, • ident=ident, • dataind=base.echant_indiv, • marind=base.marge_ind, • ident2=id, • datakish=base.echant_kish, • markish=base.marge_kish, • poidkish=nbelig, • m=1, • datapoi=poidsmen, • datapoi2=poidsind, • datapoi3=poidskish, • poidsfin=w3, • labelpoi=calage 3 niveaux, • poidskishfin=w3k, • labelpoikish=poids kish total, • edition=3)

  36. Handling total non-response with generalized calibration

  37. III.1. Generalized calibration Calibration functions : where  : vector of p adjustment parameters Calibration equations : Solving for  

  38. Basic result = parameter estimates of the instrumental regression of on with as instrumentalvariables, weighted by

  39. Precision = residual of the regression of Y on X in U with the instrumental variables Z Note : the instruments are equal to

  40. III.2. Calibration in case of total non-response Calibration after adjustment for non-response 1.a. Adjustment for non-response  Response probabilities (conditionnally to s) : is estimated referring to a response model and an estimation method Expansion estimator :

  41. Examples • Uniform response model : • Homogeneous response groups : • Generalized linear model : • vector of explanatory non-response variables • Note : for estimating , must be known both for respondents AND NON-RESPONDENTS

  42. 1.b. Calibration We start from corrected weights Conventional calibration :

  43. Direct conventional calibration  is equivalent to  with a uniform non-response model. Comparison between  and (Dupont, 1993) Let’s suppose : - N.R. is corrected by a GLM, in which H is one of the usual calibration functions F : - non-response variables are included into calibration set of variables . Then :  and are " similar " 

  44.  and  are identical when : (b) .N.R. is corrected by HRG model based on a categorical variable X .The sample is calibrated on the number of units in U for each X level  =  = formal post-stratification on U

  45. Directgeneralized calibration (E) Interpretation Response model : (E) can be written :

  46. So, if the were known : (E) = generalized calibration equation, with : F is defined as and such as

  47. Precision • uses the residuals in the population • uses the residuals of the instrumental regression • in r, weighted by the : • estimator for if response probabilities • were known

  48. Response probabilities are unknown  "estimate" and the residuals : i.e. instrumental regression weighted by final weights Note : looks like = estimated variance 1st phase (sample s selection) = estimated variance 2nd phase (respondents r "selection")

  49. Properties of the method • allows non–response correction even when explanatory variables are only known for respondents  • Handles the particular situation in which non-response explanatory variables are variables of interest (non ignorable response mechanism )  • reduces the bias produced by non–response thanks to variables , and reduces the variance thanks to variables  This method is performed in Calmar 2.

  50. An example of generalized calibration
