The Korean Community Health Survey (CHS), a community-based nationwide annual survey with the objective of providing important health indicators, is conducted through stratified cluster sampling and computer-assisted personal interviewing. Using the dong/eup/myeon administrative units (hereafter units) and residential structures (apartment or single house) as stratification variables, 900 adults (age≥19 years) per community health center district (hereafter district) are sampled and proportionally distributed across the units and according to residential structures, followed by selecting tong/ban/ri-level sample points via probability proportionate sampling based on the number of households. From each selected sample point, five households on average are selected by systematic sampling, and individual interviews are conducted with all adults in each household [1]. Although district-level health indicators are produced with a specific level of precision, there is an increasing demand for producing unit-level health indicators. However, the unit sample size varies considerably ranging between tens and several hundreds, and health indicators such as smoking rate for units with fewer than 30 samples produced using conventional statistical estimation methods cannot be used, owing to an exceedingly large sample variance of the estimates. This problem can be addressed by calculating unit-level statistics using a special estimation method such as small-area estimation [2]. This paper presents an optimized estimation method using Statistical Analysis System (SAS) codes.
Small-area estimation
Small-area estimation is an estimation method designed to produce statistics for small survey areas not included in the sample design for statistics and having unusable high-variance estimates owing to excessively small sample sizes, through supplementary use of surrounding area survey information, auxiliary information from other sources, or statistical model of the population [3,4].
Given that the sample design for the Community Health Service is intended to produce district-level health indicators, small-area estimation is needed for producing reliable unit-level health indicators. The following describes the small-area estimation methods for producing unit-level health indicators [5].

Direct estimator

A direct estimator uses only data obtained from the units concerned to produce unit-level health indicators. Each observation included in the survey data sets is given a weight item by item; the sample design-based direct estimator and its variance can be expressed by the following estimation equation, using weighted and observed values:
(1)
Y¯⏜Di=∑j=1niwjiyji∑j=1niwji
where ni is the sample size of unit i, Wji is the multiplier reflecting sample and response rates, and yji is the observed value.
The variance of the estimator shown in Equation (1) can be obtained using Equation (2), as follows:
(2)
Var⏜Y¯⏜Di=1nini-1w¯i2∑j=1niwji2yji-Rt⏜2
Where Rt⏜=∑j=1niwjiyji∑j=1niwji and wi=1ni∑j=1niwji

Synthetic estimator

A synthetic estimator can yield more accurate unit-level estimates by using various auxiliary data, such as sex, age, and registered population, for each unit within a district [4,5]. After grouping the units into 2 to 3 homogeneous clusters, using their social environments and population ratios as clustering variables, under the assumption that the units of the same cluster might have similar sex-dependent/age-dependent health indicators, such as smoking rate, unit-level smoking rates can be calculated as follows, by combining smoking rates by sex and age group and by the number of people registered:
(3)
Y¯⏜Si=∑k=1ncrjkNjki∑j=1ncNjki
Where rjk=∑l1ngwjklyjkl∑l=1ngwjkl is the average estimate of category k within cluster j, Njki is unit i within cluster j, registered population of category k, ng is the number of samples in category k within cluster j, and nc is the number of categories within cluster j.
The variance of the estimate shown in Equation (3) can be obtained using Equation (4):
(4)
Var^Y̅^Si=∑k=1ncZjki2Var^rjki=∑k=1ncZjki2ngng-1w̅jk2∑l=1ngwjklyjkl-rjk2
where zjki=Njki∑k=1ncNjki
While a synthetic estimator is potentially biased, the bias is considered negligible, given that the clustering of units within the same district ensures the sex/age category characteristics across units. If the bias exceeds a negligible level, attention must be paid to the clustering, because the equation for estimating the variance shown in Equation (4) tends to underestimate the estimation error of the estimator of Equation (3).

Composite estimator

Although the direct estimator shown in Equation (1) is unbiased, its estimates are not reliable, with unacceptably large standard error resulting from the small sample size, whereas the synthetic estimator shown in Equation (3) is biased. These problems can be addressed using a hybrid approach of obtaining more reliable estimates from the weighted average of the two estimators. The formula of weighted estimate average shown in Equations (1) and (3) is referred to as a composite estimator and can be calculated as follows:
(5)
Y̅^Ci=αY̅^Di+(1-α)YSi̅^
where α is the weight that minimizes MSE(YCi̅^) and can be calculated as follows:
(6)
α= Var ^(Y̅^Si)Var^Y̅^Di+Var^Y̅^Si
While the optimal value of α is expected to be the one that minimizes the root mean square error of Y̅^Ci , α is calculated using Equation (6) under the assumption that clustered units are sufficiently homogeneous to ignore the bias of the synthetic estimator Y̅^Si and that the direct and synthetic estimators are independent of each other.
Calculation of smoking rate using statistical analysis system
The following describes the calculation process of the unit-level smoking rates using the 2013 CHS data by applying small-area estimation to the calculation of smoking rates for the 22 dongs in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

Direct estimator

The sample size distribution of the 22 dongs of Gangnam-gu included in the 2013 CHS shows that the dongs with the smallest and largest sample sizes are Gaepo 4- dong (n=24) and Yeoksam 1-dong (n=58). The smoking rates by dong were calculated using the direct estimators shown in Equation (1) and the variance estimation Equation (2) using SAS code as follows. The R-code program was presented in a previous study [6].
/*Generating the variables age groups and smoking/non-smoking from the Gangnam health center data*/

Synthetic estimator

To calculate the synthetic estimators of smoking rates by dong, the 22 dongs of Gangnam-gu were grouped into three clusters. After calculating the smoking rates of each cluster by sex and age group (19 to 39, 40 to 59, ≥60), the smoking rates and variances by dong were calculated using Equations (3) and (4), respectively, as follows:

  • ① Calculation of the registered population ratios by sex and age group of 22 dongs as of the end of July 2013

  • ② Grouping 22 dongs in three clusters using the k-means method, with the population ratio and smoking rate as clustering variables, and with a homogeneity check of the clustered groups against the registered population size and socioeconomic environment

Composite estimator

The dong-level direct and synthetic estimates of smoking rates are combined as weighted averages to calculate the composite estimates, thereby applying the following three methods for calculating weighted values.
First, αi for minimizing the mean square error of the composite estimator MSE(YCi̅^) hown in Equation (5) is expressed as follows:
(7)
αi(opt)=MSE(Y̅^Si)MSEY̅^Si+V(Y̅^Di)
The estimated value of the optimal weight αi(opt) is calculated as follows:
(8)
α^i(opt)=MSE(Y̅^Si)Y̅^Si-Yi̅^2
The weight minimizing the mean MSE(Y̅^Si) using the initial common weight α as an approach to giving the common weight to all small areas is obtained as follows:
(9)
α^opt=1-∑iV^Y̅^Di∑iY̅^Si-Y̅^i2
The weight dependent on the sample size assigned to each small area is calculated as follows:
(10)
αiδ=1,N^iδNiN~iδNi(an so on)
where N_i is the size of small area N^i=N(nin). N~i is the direct estimator, and δ is the value adjusting the synthetic estimator’s contribution, thus a subjectively determined value. The Canadian Labor Force Survey, for example, uses δ=2/3, which is also applied to this calculation [8]
After calculating the composite estimators of the dong-level smoking rates with each of the three types of weight presented above, an optimal estimation method is selected. The composite estimates are calculated in the following procedure.

① Data set generation integrating the direct estimates (Y_d) and synthetic estimates (Y_s) calculated for the 22 dongs

   set abc.seoul_gangnam_estimator_c3_2;
   hat_N_i=cluster population*(N/cluster sample size);
   if hat_N_i>=((2/3)*number of registered population) then alpha3=1
   else alpha3=hat_N_i/((2/3)*number of registered population);
   Y_c3=(alpha3*Y_d)+((1-alpha3)*Y_s);

Table 8 outlines the results of calculating the current smoking rates of each of the 22 dongs applying the four types of composite estimates. While variances are found to be lower compared with direct estimates, the current smoking rate estimates vary widely depending on dong sample sizes, reflecting the estimate-stabilizing feature of composite estimation. Viewed from the aspect of reducing the variance of direct estimates and correcting the bias of synthetic estimates, the fourth composite estimator is considered most effective in stabilizing the dong-level estimates.
This paper explained the procedure for producing health indicators at dong/eup/myeon-level (smaller than the designed domain) from the CHS data with the aim of producing health indicators at the level of health center district (designed domain), by applying small-area estimation to an example case of numerical estimation. The calculation procedures were presented using SAS codes, a method that is expected to be useful in cases in which statistics for smaller or detailed areas are to be produced from a survey conducted with the objective of producing statistics at a larger domain level.
