Sometimes in order to estimate population parameters such as mean and total values, we extract a random sample by cluster sampling method, and after completing sampling, we are interested in using the same sample to estimate the desired parameters in a subset of the population, which is said subpopulation. In this paper, we try to estimate subpopulation parameters in different cases when one-st...

traditional survey methods may cause refusals to respond or untruthful replies when encounter the sensitive questions. the randomized response technique (rrt) is designed to decrease social desirability bias and obtain reliable estimates. this study aimed to apply these new methods on the sensitive questions survey.simmons model was applied in the survey of issues relevant to commercial sex amo...

Abstract In this research work we introduce a new sampling design, namely two-stage cluster sampling, where probability proportional to size with replacement is used in the first stage unit and ranked set second order address issue of marked variability sizes population units concerned sampling. We obtained an unbiased estimator mean total, as well variance estimator. calculated relative effici...

social and cultural family raise more than before. this article examines the role of women in family economic efficiency. to identify the components listed on the theories of resources, power, system theory and empowerment is used. sampling technique used, multi-stage stratified sampling with probability proportional to size cluster sampling is. results show that independent variables, the part...
