Research on Small Area Estimation for the National Crime Victimization Survey

Presenters on this webinar from the Bureau of Justice Statistics will deliver a methodological overview on producing overall state estimates and demographic subgroup estimates from NCVS data using multivariate Bayesian small area estimation (SAE) models. This session will cover model formulation, the challenges of applying SAE techniques to victimization survey data, and the implications for researchers and others interested in geographically disaggregated crime statistics. Presenters will discuss design considerations, estimation procedures, and limitations of the approach.
