Sample survey calibration : an informational-theoretic perspective / Martin Wittenberg.

"We show that the pseudo empirical maximum likelihood estimator can be recast as a calibration estimator. The process of estimating the probabilities pk of the distribution function can be done also in a maximum entropy framework. We suggest that a minimum cross-entropy estimator has attractive theo...

The process of estimating the probabilities pk of the distribution function can be done also in a maximum entropy framework. We suggest that a minimum cross-entropy estimator has attractive theoretical properties. A Monte Carlo simulation suggests that this estimator outperforms the PEMLE and the Horvitz-Thompson estimator"--P. 1.
