Abstract:

The net migration rate of the school age population in the United States is analyzed at the sub-state level for the period 1960-1970 using a series of estimation procedures. "The estimation procedures are unbiased techniques (ordinary least squares and maximum R [squared] improvement), biased techniques (ridge regression, generalized ridge regression and principal components regression), as well as robust techniques (least absolute deviation and Hill-Holland). For each of these estimation procedures, a model was developed, based on a sample of 50 minor civil divisions in the State of New Jersey." (EXCERPT)
