Conditionally Consistent Estimators Using Only Probabilities of Selection in Complex Sample Surveys
复杂抽样调查中仅使用入样概率的条件一致估计量
Predictive regression estimators using functions of the probability of selection π i , as covariates are studied as an alternative to classical p-weighting estimators for the finite population mean in complex sample surveys. Variance estimators are developed based on the relationship var(y i | π i ), where y, is the response and π i is the probability of selection. Extensions to cluster sample designs are outlined, and an example is given from the National Educational…
