Abstract

This paper introduces the pseudo-calibration estimators, a novel method that integrates a non-probability sample of big size with a probability sample, assuming both samples contain relevant information for estimating the population parameter. The proposed estimators share a structural similarity with the adjusted projection estimators and the difference estimators but they adopt a different inferential approach and informative setup. The pseudo-calibration estimators can be employed when the target variable is observed in the probability sample and, in the non-probability sample, it is observed correctly, observed with error, or predicted. This paper also introduces an original application of the jackknife-type method for variance estimation. A simulation study shows that the proposed estimators are robust and efficient compared to the regression data integration estimators that use the same informative setup. Finally, a further evaluation using real data is carried out.
