Sequential Sampling for the Comparison of Domain Means
用于比较子总体均值的序贯抽样
If it is required to compare the means of several domains of study in a finite population and if the domain to which each unit belongs cannot be ascertained before sampling, one may sample sequentially until specified precision requirements are met. Here, we determine the probability, P(n), that the precision requirements are satisfied by the time n observations have been selected randomly from the finite population. The dependence of P(n) on typically unknown design…
