Aggregation and ecological effects in geographically based data

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Statistical models are proposed that capture the essential features of the structure of a population composed of geographically defined groups and can encompass grouping processes and contextual effects. They are used to show how small effects in the analysis of individual-level data can be magnified when the analysis based on aggregated data is carried out. The models provide an approach to the problem of adjusting an area-level analysis to correct for aggregation effects. The data come from the 1991 U.K. Census of Housing and Population.
