Extensions of Calibration Estimators in Survey Sampling
调查抽样中校准估计量的扩展
Estimators from the family of calibration estimators are often used when auxiliary information about a population is available. By viewing calibration as an algebraic problem, this article extends the calibration technique to estimate population parameters other than totals and means, and also extends the technique to the case where there is no solution to the calibration equation. These extensions permit the development of estimators for small domains that have a synthetic…
