Bounds for the Error-Variance of an Estimator in Sampling with Varying Probabilities from a Finite Population
有限总体不等概率抽样中估计量误差方差的上界
This paper presents three upper bounds for the variance of an estimator, based on observations selected with varying probabilities from a finite population, the elements of which are ranked with respect to the Y values. Accordingly, the usefulness of these bounds relates to the pre-enumeration analysis where one may well know the intended probabilities and joint probabilities corresponding to the sampling scheme but does not know the Y values. If, however, one can make a…
