A New Approach to Sampling from Finite Populations. I Sufficiency and Linear Estimation
有限总体抽样的新方法:第一部分,充分性与线性估计
Summary Barnard (1963) introduced the concept of linear sufficiency in connection with the Gauss-Markov set-up of estimation. In the present article the concept of linear sufficiency is redefined to suit the problem of estimation in survey sampling where, as demonstrated by the present author (Godambe, 1955, 1965), the Gauss-Markov set-up is fundamentally inapplicable. According to this redefined concept, a certain estimator is shown to be uniquely (up to a constant…
