An Empirical Study of some Unequal Probability Sampling Estimators
An empirical study has been carried out to decide about the performance of various estimators used in unequal probability sampling without replacement and a sample of size 2. The Hansen–Hurwitz estimator and simple random sampling method has also been compared in this study. Some suggestions have been given at the end.
متن کاملAn Alternative View of Forest Sampling
A generalized concept is presented for all of the commonly used methods of forest sampling. The concept views the forest as a two-dimensional picture which is cut up into pieces like a jigsaw puzzle, with the pieces defined by the individual selection probabilities of the trees in the forest. This concept results in a finite number of independently selected sample units, in contrast to every ot...
متن کاملImitation and luck: An experimental study on social sampling
In this paper, we present the results of two experiments on social sampling, where people make a risky decision after they have sampled the behavior of others who have done exactly the same problem before them. In an individual decision making problem as well as in the takeover game, the simple behavioral rule of imitating the best appears to be a robust description of behavior despite the fact...
متن کاملUtilizing an Alternative Sampling Frame to Produce Agricultural Survey Indications
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducts hundreds of surveys every year and prepares reports covering virtually every aspect of U.S. agriculture. NASS maintains a list frame containing names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other descriptive data on producers (and agribusinesses) and an area frame covering all land area in the U.S. T...
متن کاملProbability range in damage predictions as related to sampling decisions.
The risk involved in basing a nematode management decision on predicted crop loss is related to the uncertainty in the crop damage function and error in measuring nematode population density. The sampling intensity necessary to measure a nematode population with specified precision varies with population density. Since the density is unknown prior to sampling, optimum sampling intensity for a m...
