A biobjective method for sample allocation in stratified sampling
The two main and contradicting criteria guiding sampling design are accuracy of estimators and sampling costs. In stratified random sampling, the sample size must be allocated to strata in order to optimize both objectives. In this note we address, following a biobjective methodology, this allocation problem. A two-phase method is proposed to describe the set of Pareto-optimal solutions of this...
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 کاملEdgeworth expansions for two-stage sampling with applications to stratified and cluster sampling
A two-term Edgeworth expansion for the standardized version of the sample total in a two-stage sampling design is derived. In particular, for the commonly used stratified and cluster sampling schemes, formal two-term asymptotic expansions are obtained for the Studentized versions of the sample total. These results are applied in conjunction with the bootstrap to construct more accurate confiden...
متن کاملStratified sampling of execution traces: Execution phases serving as strata
The understanding of the behavioural aspects of a software system is an important enabler for many reverse engineering activities. The behaviour of software is typically represented in the form of execution traces. Traces, however, can be overwhelmingly large. To reduce their size, sampling techniques, especially the ones based on random sampling, have been extensively used. Random sampling, ho...
متن کاملTwo-stage sampling for etiologic studies. Sample size and power.
Preexisting computerized databases are potentially valuable sources of epidemiologic data. Since such databases are infrequently created specifically for etiologic research, data may be available for the exposure of interest and, through record linkage, for the endpoint of interest, but lacking for potential confounders. Because of the size of these databases, two-stage sampling is an efficient...
