4.1 INTRODUCTION In sampling theory the auxiliary information is being utilized in following ways:  Utilization of information at pre-selection stage i.e. for stratifying the population.  Utilization of information at selection stage i.e. in selecting the units with probabilities proportional to some suitable measure of size (size being based on some auxiliary variables).  Utilization of inf...

Collection of appropriate qualitative and quantitative data is necessary for proper management and planning. Used the suitable inventory methods is necessary and accuracy of sampling methods dependent the inventory net and number of sample point. Nearest neighbor sampling method is a one of distance methods and calculated by three equations (Byth and Riple, 1980; Cotam and Curtis, 1956 and Cota...

in acceptance-sampling plans, the items of an incoming lot are inspected one by one. if the number of nonconforming items in sample is equal zero, the lot is accepted but if the number of nonconforming items is equal to one, then second sample is taken and the policy of zero acceptance number would be applied for the second sample. in this paper, a mathematical model is developed to design sing...

In this paper, we present a method for generating scenarios for two-stage stochastic programs, using multivariate distributions specified by their marginal distributions and the correlation matrix. The margins are described by their cumulative distribution functions and we allow each margin to be of different type. We demonstrate the method on a model from stochastic service network design and ...

Bayesian Acceptance Sampling Approach is associated with utilization of prior process history for the selection of Distributions (viz., Gamma Poisson, Beta Binomial) to describe the random fluctuations involved in Acceptance Sampling. The Acceptance sampling procedures are the practical tools for quality assurance applications involving product control. Acceptance sampling systems are advocated...

Crowdsourcing platforms are now extensively used for conducting subjective pairwise comparison studies. In this setting, a pairwise comparison dataset is typically gathered via random sampling, either with or without replacement. In this paper, we use tools from random graph theory to analyze these two random sampling methods for the HodgeRank estimator. Using the Fiedler value of the graph as ...
