Variance Estimation for the Regression Estimator in Two-Phase Sampling
两阶段抽样中回归估计量的方差估计
Many techniques in survey sampling depend on the possession of information about an auxiliary variable x, or a vector of auxiliary variables, available for the entire population. Regression estimates require , the population mean. If such information is unavailable, then one can sometimes obtain a large preliminary sample of xi relatively cheaply and use this to obtain a good estimate, say , of A smaller subsample can then be taken and the characteristic of interest, yi ,…
