Abstract
In this article, we introduce the iterative AK composite estimator for the Current Population Survey. This estimator adopts the AK composite estimator as the initial value and further makes good use of the intrinsic composite scheme of the AK composite estimator. We derive the mean squared error (MSE) formula for the iterative composite estimator and describe how to select the optimal tuning coefficients by minimising the MSE. Finally, we examine the proposed method through a simulation study.
