Calibration approach estimators in stratified sampling
Calibration is commonly used in survey sampling to include auxiliary information to increase the precision of the estimates of population parameter. In this paper, we newly propose various calibration approach ratio estimators and derive the estimator of the variance of the calibration approach ratio estimators in stratified sampling. r 2006 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملAdaptive strategy for stratified Monte Carlo sampling
We consider the problem of stratified sampling for Monte Carlo integration of a random variable. We model this problem in a K-armed bandit, where the arms represent the K strata. The goal is to estimate the integral mean, that is a weighted average of the mean values of the arms. The learner is allowed to sample the variable n times, but it can decide on-line which stratum to sample next. We pr...
متن کاملAdaptive optimal allocation in stratified sampling methods
In this paper, we propose a stratified sampling algorithm in which the random drawings made in the strata to compute the expectation of interest are also used to adaptively modify the proportion of further drawings in each stratum. These proportions converge to the optimal allocation in terms of variance reduction. And our stratified estimator is asymptotically normal with asymptotic variance e...
متن کاملImproved Ratio Estimators in Adaptive Cluster Sampling
For better inference of the population quantity of interest, ratio estimators are often recommended when certain auxiliary variables are available. Two types of ratio estimators, modified for adaptive cluster sampling via transformed population and initial intersection probability approaches, have been studied in Dryver and Chao (2007). Unfortunately, none of them are a function of a minimal su...
متن کاملAdaptive Stratified Sampling for Monte-Carlo integration of Differentiable functions
We consider the problem of adaptive stratified sampling for Monte Carlo integration of a differentiable function given a finite number of evaluations to the function. We construct a sampling scheme that samples more often in regions where the function oscillates more, while allocating the samples such that they are well spread on the domain (this notion shares similitude with low discrepancy). ...
