Conditional Coverage Properties of Finite Population Confidence Intervals
有限总体置信区间的条件覆盖性质
Standardized errors (Ť — T)/v 1/2 were calculated for both ratio and regression estimators in each of 10,000 simple random samples of n = 32 from each of six populations, using four different variance estimators. Graphs show how the percentage of intervals T ± 1.96 v 1/2 that fail to contain T changes as a function of the average value of the auxiliary variable in the sample. They reveal that (a) intervals using the variance estimators from standard linear regression theory…
