Survey Statistics: Individualism Doesn’t Work (Even when Weighted)
Multilevel regression‑poststratification (MRP) aims to estimate population means, but most machine‑learning pipelines still optimize an individual‑level loss, which measures error for each respondent. The true MRP objective is a population‑level loss, focusing on the aggregate mean rather than individual predictions. Recent studies show that models minimizing individual‑level loss—even when weighted to the population—can be poorly ordered relative to the population loss. The aggregation step, not weighting, drives this discrepancy, and using post‑stratified estimates can lead to over‑fitting without proper validation.
