On ratio estimation in poststratified sampling over two occasions

Search of Good Rotation Patterns through Exponential Type Regression Estimator in Successive Sampling over Two Occasions

The problem of estimating the finite population mean on the second (current) occasion in successive sampling over two occasions has been discussed. Utilizing all the readily available information from first and second occasions, an efficient estimation procedure through exponential type regression estimator has been developed. It has been shown that the proposed procedure is more efficient than...

Estimating quantiles under sampling on two occasions with arbitrary sample designs

A practical problem related to the estimation of quantiles in double sampling with arbitrary sampling designs in each of the two phases is investigated. In practice, this scheme is commonly used for official surveys, in which quantile estimation is often required when the investigation deals with variables such as income or expenditure. A class of estimators for quantiles is proposed and some i...

On estimation of conditional density models with two-phase sampling

Suppose that the conditional density of a response variable given a vector of explanatory variables is parametrically modelled, and that data are collected by a two-phase sampling design. First, a simple random sample is drawn from the population. The stratum membership in a finite number of strata of the response and explanatory variables is recorded for each unit. Second, a subsample is drawn...

Weighted Likelihood Estimation under Two-phase Sampling.

We develop asymptotic theory for weighted likelihood estimators (WLE) under two-phase stratified sampling without replacement. We also consider several variants of WLEs involving estimated weights and calibration. A set of empirical process tools are developed including a Glivenko-Cantelli theorem, a theorem for rates of convergence of M-estimators, and a Donsker theorem for the inverse probabi...
