inverse sampling design is generally considered to be appropriate technique when the population is divided into two subpopulations, one of which contains only few units. in this paper, we derive the horvitz-thompson estimator for the population mean under inverse sampling designs, where subpopulation sizes are known. we then introduce an alternative unbiased estimator, corresponding to post-str...

An invariant mean on a group G is a normalized, positive, translation invariant linear functional defined on the space of all bounded complex valued functions on G. Some groups possess an invariant mean (or are said to be amenable), while others do not. In particular, all abelian groups are amenable [2, §17.5]. An invariant mean on a group need not be inversion invariant. It is quite easy to sh...

using a generalized spherical mean operator, we obtain a generalization of titchmarsh&apos;s theorem for the dunkl transform for functions satisfying the (&apos;; p)-dunkl lipschitz condition in the space lp(rd;wl(x)dx), 1 < p 6 2, where wl is a weight function invariant under the action of an associated re ection group.

0. Introduction. M. M. Day has shown that an abelian group has only one invariant mean if, and only if, the group is finite [3, Theorem 4, p. 534]. Knowing this we now ask to what extent the invariant means on a given abelian group are alike. In this paper we shall show that they all have the same "measure-theoretic character." An invariant mean on an abelian group G is a normalized, positive, ...
