Abstract: | A postgrouped sampling is considered for estimating the (finite or finite), population mean. Double sampling and an empirical-weighted estimator is used. Unbiasedness, variance and efficiency are considered. Its properties are discussed allowing the simple random sampling with replacement (SRSWR) design in the first phase, and in each stratum for the second phase. It is shown that for a fixed sample size in each postgroup, the variance of the proposed estimator with less prior information is asymptotically equivalent to the usual stratified estimator for fixed allocation. Some examples are provided for natural populations., The method is also extended to simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) design in the first phase, and in each stratum for the second phase. Unbiased variance estimation is provided for both types of sampling designs. |
