Algorithms for Constructing Combined Strata Variance Estimators
构造合并分层方差估计量的算法
A jackknife or balanced repeated replication variance estimator in a large survey typically requires a large number of replicates and replicate weights. Reducing the number of replicates may have important advantages for computations and for limiting the risk of data disclosure from public use data files. This article proposes algorithms adapted from scheduling theory to combine variance strata and, thus, reduce the number of replicates. The algorithms are simple and…
