Variance Estimation Based on a Superpopulation Model in Two-Stage Sampling
两阶段抽样中基于超总体模型的方差估计
Estimators for finite population parameters and their variances in two-stage sampling have been developed by using the linear least-squares prediction approach in a recent article by Royall (1976). This article considers a special case of the superpopulation model assumed by Royall and uses a new technique involving linear combinations of the sample observations to estimate the variances of these estimators. An exact confidence interval for the finite population total is…
