Analysis of Repeated Surveys Using a Dynamic Linear Model

Summary After giving a brief review of the literature on the analysis of data from repeated surveys, we present a new framework for analysing such data using a dynamic linear model under very general conditions and present optimal predictors of totals of finite populations. We also discuss the estimation of model parameters by the method of maximum likelihood and present two examples to illustrate the theory.
