Allocation in Multivariate Stratified Surveys with Non-Linear Random Cost Function
In this paper, we consider an allocation problem in multivariate surveys with non-linear costs of enumeration as a problem of non-linear stochastic programming with multiple objective functions. The solution is obtained through Chance Constrained programming. A different formulation of the problem is also presented in which the non-linear cost function is minimised under the precision constrain...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Chance Constraint Programming Approach for Optimal Allocation in Multivariate Stratified Surveys: A Compromise Solution
Optimal allocation of sample size among various strata is an important step to get the precise estimates for population parameters and to reduce the cost of the survey. A reasonable criterion for optimal allocation is the minimization of the variances of the estimates for a specified cost or to minimize the cost of survey for desired precision of the estimates. The total cost of survey is a fun...
متن کاملMultivariate Multi-Objective Allocation in Stratified Random Sampling: A Game Theoretic Approach
We consider the problem of multivariate multi-objective allocation where no or limited information is available within the stratum variance. Results show that a game theoretic approach (based on weighted goal programming) can be applied to sample size allocation problems. We use simulation technique to determine payoff matrix and to solve a minimax game.
متن کاملAllocation in Multivariate Stratified Sampling in Presence of Non-Response: A New Approch
7.1 Introduction In mail surveys, it is observed that the data may not be obtained in the first attempt, sometimes due to absenteeism and sometimes due to the refusal of the subject. This problem was first considered by Hansen and Hurwitz (1946), in which the population was divided into the groups of respondents and non respondents. They determine the sample size to be attempted on the first oc...
متن کاملConstrained Non-Renewable Resource Allocation in Metagraphs with Discrete Random Times
In this paper, it is supposed that a project can be shown as a metagraph. The duration of activities are discrete random variables with known probability function, also one kind of consumable and constrained resource is required to execute each activity of the project.The objective of this paper is to maximize the probability of completion of stochastic metagraph before the due date of the proj...
