Centre Sampling for Estimating Elusive Population Size
The estimation of the size of an elusive population is a problem frequently addressed in many fields of applications. In the paper a sampling strategy for the estimation of the size, named centre sampling, is proposed, and its properties are evaluated in a design-based approach. The estimator is admissible, consistent and the design is measurable. The expressions of the variance of the populati...
متن کاملEstimating population size with two- and three-stage sampling designs.
Reliable estimates of population size are important for developing and monitoring health programs in at-risk populations. Laska, Meisner, and Siegel (Biometrics 1988;44:461-72) developed an unbiased estimator for the size of a population at a single venue based on a single sample. Because many populations of interest are not contained within a single venue, this article generalizes the Laska, M...
متن کاملEstimating hidden population size using Respondent-Driven Sampling data.
Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) is n approach to sampling design and inference in hard-to-reach human populations. It is often used in situations where the target population is rare and/or stigmatized in the larger population, so that it is prohibitively expensive to contact them through the available frames. Common examples include injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, and female s...
متن کاملModified Sampling Strategies Using Correlation Coefficient for Estimating Population Mean
This paper proposes two sampling strategies based on the modified ratio estimator using the population mean of auxiliary variable and population correlation coefficient between the study variable and the auxiliary variable by Singh and Tailor (2003) for estimating the population mean (total) of the study variable in a finite population. A comparative study is made with usual sampling strategies...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach to Estimation with Link-tracing Sampling Designs
For inference from link-tracing designs, Frank and Thompson (1998) derived the likelihood function for the graph model. In addition, they provided the likelihood functions considered under the symmetric model and also an asymmetric model. In that paper, they used maximum likelihood estimators to est imate the graph model parameters. Here, we propose a Bayesian approach for the estimation proble...
