  • The use of an auxiliary variable in optimum stratification

    Creator:
    Chester, Spencer T.
    Abstract:
    When stratification is employed to reduce the variance of an estimate of the population mean, and the population does not possess an a priori partitioning, the degree of reduction provided is affected by the method of allocation, by the number of strata, and by the choice of the stratum boundaries....

  • Information Criterion for Nonparametric Model-Assisted Survey Estimators

    Creator:
    James, Addison
    Abstract:
    Nonparametric model-assisted estimators have been proposed to improve estimates of finite population parameters. More efficient estimators are obtained when the parametric model is misspecified due to the flexibility of nonparametric models. In this dissertation, we derive information criteria to select appropriate auxiliary variables to use in an additive model-assisted method....

  • Post stratified estimation using a known auxiliary variable

    Creator:
    Bedier, Mostafa Abdellatif
    Abstract:
    Post stratification is considered desirable in sample surveys for two reasons - it reduces the mean squared error when averaged over all possible samples, and it reduces the conditional bias when conditioned on stratum sample sizes. The problem studied in this thesis is post stratified estimation of a finite population...

  • Estimating population totals from area frame samples

    Creator:
    Garoui, Abderrazak
    Abstract:
    Area frame sampling for agricultural statistics is a procedure currently used by the Statistical Reporting Service of the US Department of Agriculture as well as by agriculture departments in other countries. A primary advantage of the area frame is that it provides complete coverage of the population. In area frame...
