Optimal Estimation for Response-Dependent Retrospective Sampling
响应依赖的回顾性抽样中的最优估计
In more conventional analytic surveys, we sample the response variates y through a sampling design that is dependent on the covariate x. The x values are assumed known for all the units in the population. However, contrary to these situations, there are areas of statistical application when the values of the response variable are known for all the individuals but not the values of covariate (for example, in epidemiology and reliability). Here we sample the x values the…
