Estimating population size with two- and three-stage sampling designs.
Reliable estimates of population size are important for developing and monitoring health programs in at-risk populations. Laska, Meisner, and Siegel (Biometrics 1988;44:461-72) developed an unbiased estimator for the size of a population at a single venue based on a single sample. Because many populations of interest are not contained within a single venue, this article generalizes the Laska, M...
متن کاملStrategies for two-stage sampling designs for estimating herd-level prevalence.
We propose a herd-level sample-size formula based on a common adjustment for prevalence estimates when diagnostic tests are imperfect. The formula depends on estimates of herd-level sensitivity and specificity. With Monte Carlo simulations, we explored the effects of different intracluster correlations on herd-level sensitivity and specificity. At low prevalence (e.g. 1% of animals infected), h...
متن کاملOptimal sampling strategies for two-stage studies.
The optimal allocation of available resources is the concern of every investigator in choosing a study design. The recent development of statistical methods for the analysis of two-stage data makes these study designs attractive for their economy and efficiency. However, little work has been done on deriving two-stage designs that are optimal under the kinds of constraints encountered in practi...
متن کاملModified Sampling Strategies Using Correlation Coefficient for Estimating Population Mean
This paper proposes two sampling strategies based on the modified ratio estimator using the population mean of auxiliary variable and population correlation coefficient between the study variable and the auxiliary variable by Singh and Tailor (2003) for estimating the population mean (total) of the study variable in a finite population. A comparative study is made with usual sampling strategies...
متن کاملBayesian Acceptance Sampling for Attributes
This paper demonstrates the use of Bayesian methods in Acceptance Sampling for items which are categorized according to their attributes as defective or non defective, i.e binary (0-1) data. The main thrust of the paper is to account for the possibility of dependence among the items of a sample. An attempt has been made to incorporate the dependence structure in the acceptance sampling scheme. ...
