Quasi-Linear Bayes Estimation in Stratified Finite Populations
分层有限总体中的准线性贝叶斯估计
SUMMARY In this paper a Bayesian least squares approximation is proposed for descriptive inference in a finite population when a categorical auxiliary variable is known. A hierarchical model II analysis of variance is assumed. The solution consists of a projection on the vector of group totals and on the between and within sums of squares. The approximation can be seen as a normal approximation of the joint distribution of the statistic and of the parameter of interest,…
