Relative Efficiency of Point Sampling Change Estimators
Concerns about the efficiency and the reliability of point sampling to estimate change in forest growth variables have been expressed ever since point sampling appeared in the literature more than 60 years ago. Change estimators for point samples based on point-to-tree distance in variable-radius plots were introduced about 30 years ago but are rarely implemented despite easy access to point-to...
متن کاملSimulation-based randomized systematic PPS sampling under substitution of units
The International Tobacco Control (ITC) Policy Evaluation Survey of China uses a multi-stage unequal probability sampling design with upper level clusters selected by the randomized systematic PPS sampling method. A difficulty arises in the execution of the survey: several selected upper level clusters refuse to participate in the survey and have to be replaced by substitute units, selected fro...
متن کاملZero-Variance Importance Sampling Estimators for Markov Process Expectations
We study the structure of zero-variance importance sampling estimators for expectations of functionals of Markov processes. For a class of expectations that can be characterized as solutions to linear systems, we show that a zerovariance estimator can be constructed by using an importance distribution that preserves the Markovian nature of the underlying process. This suggests that good practic...
متن کاملMultivariate Estimators for Two Phase Sampling
The auxiliary information has always been a source of improvement in estimation of certain population characteristics. Several estimators have been developed in single and two phase sampling which utilizes information on auxiliary variables as well as auxiliary attributes. The classical estimators which use information on auxiliary variables are the ratio and regression estimators as given in H...
