Estimating a Distribution Function Based on Nomination Sampling
基于提名抽样的分布函数估计
Nomination sampling is a sampling process in which every observation is the maximum of a random sample from some population. Assuming that all samples are taken from a single underlying distribution F, data may be viewed as consisting of pairs (Xi , Ki ), where Ki is the size of the ith sample and, given Ki = ki, Xi is distributed according to F ki. Willemain (1980), who discussed nomination sampling in the context of health care delivery, proposed an estimator for the…
