Allocation to Strata and Relative Efficiencies of Stratified and Unstratified πPs Sampling Schemes
分层配置及分层与非分层πPS抽样方案的相对效率
Summary The problem of optimum allocation to strata has been earlier examined in the light of a priori distributions. In this context, under the criterion of minimum expected variance, the sampling strategy consisting of an unstratified πPS sampling scheme together with the Horvitz–Thompson (HT) estimator was shown to be inferior to the strategy consisting of a stratified πPS sampling scheme with the corresponding HT estimator with this optimum allocation. In this paper,…
