Preliminary Evaluation of Impact of PPS on Precision of MEPS Estimates |
Description: |
|
This report presents a preliminary evaluation of the impact of probability proportional to size (pps)
sampling within stratum in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component.
Based on the limited data from a MEPS pps design that are currently available, we examine insurance
estimates as well as coefficients of variation of the sampling weights. While the sampling weights show a
marked reduction in variability, the impact of pps on the standard errors of the insurance estimates is
ambiguous. Expenditure data for the first year of panel 15 (2010) are scheduled for release in the fall of
2012 which will enable further evaluations of the effect of PPS on MEPS estimates. |
