Recently, analysis of variance (ANOVA) random effects models have been applied to data sets consisting of repeated measurements of pollutants within factories in order to identify determinants of ...

Many techniques in survey sampling depend on the possession of information about an auxiliary variable x, or a vector of auxiliary variables, available for the entire population. Regression estimates ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This note explores variance estimation of a combined ratio estimator from a purely model-based viewpoint. It shows that given a sample ...

In this sense, the proposed method is an extension of the variance of the regression estimator for two-stage sampling. The method is applied to quarterly data from the Labor Force Survey where ...

Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.
