RWEB-CWBI: A Reliability-Weighted, Empirical-Bayes-Shrunk Composite Estimator for Multidimensional Child Well-Being, with Cross-Survey Validation in Egypt
Mariam Magdy Kamal, Mohamed Naguib, Noura Anwar Abdel-Fatah
Background: Composite well-being indicators are typically built by aggregating dimension scores with subjectively elicited or transferred weights, computed on raw sample means without formal reliability checks. Methods: We propose the Reliability-Weighted, Empirical-Bayes-Shrunk Composite (RWEB-CWBI), which shrinks each dimension’s group-level mean via the …
