Sample Variance Considerations for Cluster Surveys
We present a general statistical framework for describing the effect of sample variance in the number counts of virialized objects and examine its effect on cosmological parameter estimation. Specifically, we consider effects of sample variance on the power spectrum normalization and properties of dark energy extracted from current and future local and high-redshift samples of clusters. We show...
متن کاملSample design considerations for informal sector surveys
1 The survey units An informal sector survey is concerned with economic units of special types namely householdbased and other small-scale establishments. Exactly what type of units are in the scope of the survey is a substantive issue, dependent on circumstances and data requirements, and is not considered here. However, certain common features can be noted. Typically, the survey is confined t...
متن کاملSample Size Considerations for Multilevel Surveys
Social and economic data commonly have a nested structure (for example, households nested within neighborhoods). Recently techniques and computer programs have become available for dealing with such data, permitting the formulation of explicit multilevel models with hypotheses about e¤ects occurring at each level and across levels. If data users are planning to analyze survey data using hierarc...
متن کاملAsymptotic algorithm for computing the sample variance of interval data
The problem of the sample variance computation for epistemic inter-val-valued data is, in general, NP-hard. Therefore, known efficient algorithms for computing variance require strong restrictions on admissible intervals like the no-subset property or heavy limitations on the number of possible intersections between intervals. A new asymptotic algorithm for computing the upper bound of the samp...
متن کامل1980: Analysis of Categorical Data in Weighted Cluster Sample Surveys
A weighted cluster sample survey design is frequently used in large demographic sample surveys. In the National Health Interview Survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, households are often selected in clusters of four. In this survey, sociodemographic and health characteristics of all members of sample households are recorded. Such characteristics for each person intervi...
