two-phase sample size estimation with pre-assigned variance under normality assumption
Authors
abstract
we develop a two phase sampling procedure to determine the sample size necessary to estimatethe population mean of a normally distributed random variable and show that the resulting estimator has preassigned variance and is unbiased under a regular condition. we present a necessary and sufficient condition under which the final sample mean is an unbiased estimator for the population mean.

Inferences on the Generalized Variance under Normality
Generalized variance is applied for determination of dispersion in a multivariate population and is a successful measure for concentration of multivariate data. In this article, we consider constructing confidence interval and testing the hypotheses about generalized variance in a multivariate normal distribution and give a computational approach. Simulation studies are performed to compare thi...
full textResampling Variance Estimation for a Two-Phase Sample
Two-phase sampling is often used in a wide variety of surveys. Variance estimation from a two-phase sample has been a subject of active research. The re-sampling method of variance estimation has been used for this problem. However, the method confronts a challenging problem when the first phase sampling fraction is high. In the extreme (but not uncommon) case some first-phase strata are take-a...
full textEstimating Variance of the Sample Mean in Two-phase Sampling with Unit Non-response Effect
In sample surveys, we always deal with two types of errors: Sampling error and non-sampling error. One of the most common non-sampling errors is nonresponse. This error happens when some sample units are not observed or viewed but they do not answer some of the questions. The complete prevention of this error is not possible, but it can be significantly reduced. The non-response causes bias and ...
full textAsymptotic Normality under Two-Phase Sampling Designs
Large sample properties of statistical inferences in the context of finite populations are harder to determine than in the iid case due to their dependence jointly on the characteristics of the finite population and the sampling design employed. There have been many discussions on special inference procedures under special sampling designs in the literature. General and comprehensive results ar...
full textSample size estimation in epidemiologic studies
This review basically provided a conceptual framework for sample size calculation in epidemiologic studies with various designs and outcomes. The formula requirement of sample size was drawn based on statistical principles for both descriptive and comparative studies. The required sample size was estimated and presented graphically with different effect sizes and power of statistical test at 95...
full textJackknife Variance Estimation for Two Samples after Imputation under Two-Phase Sampling
We propose a jackknife variance estimator for the population average from two, two-phase samples after imputation. The jackknife method has long been used to estimate and reduce bias, but has now become a valuable tool for variance estimation. We apply two different sampling methods, (simple random sampling and stratified random sampling) to derive jackknife variance estimators for the twosampl...
