An Empirical Study of some Unequal Probability Sampling Estimators
نویسندگان
چکیده
An empirical study has been carried out to decide about the performance of various estimators used in unequal probability sampling without replacement and a sample of size 2. The Hansen–Hurwitz estimator and simple random sampling method has also been compared in this study. Some suggestions have been given at the end.

An Empirical Comparison of Performance of the Unified Approach to Linearization of Variance Estimation after Imputation with Some Other Methods
Imputation is one of the most common methods to reduce item non_response effects. Imputation results in a complete data set, and then it is possible to use naϊve estimators. After using most of common imputation methods, mean and total (imputation estimators) are still unbiased. However their variances (imputation variances) are underestimated by naϊve variance estimators. Sampling mechanism an...
متن کاملA Comparison of Population-Averaged and Cluster-Specific Approaches in the Context of Unequal Probabilities of Selection.
Sampling designs of large-scale survey studies are typically complex, involving multiple design features such as clustering and unequal probabilities of selection. Single-level (i.e., population-averaged) methods that use adjusted variance estimators and multilevel (i.e., cluster-specific) methods provide two alternatives for modeling clustered data. Although the literature comparing these meth...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملBayesian penalized spline model-based inference for finite population proportion in unequal probability sampling.
We propose a Bayesian Penalized Spline Predictive (BPSP) estimator for a finite population proportion in an unequal probability sampling setting. This new method allows the probabilities of inclusion to be directly incorporated into the estimation of a population proportion, using a probit regression of the binary outcome on the penalized spline of the inclusion probabilities. The posterior pre...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Estimation for Samples with Nonignorable Nonresponse
Nonresponse is very common in survey sampling. Nonignorable nonresponse, a response mechanism in which the response probability of a survey variable Y depends directly on the value of Y regardless of whether Y is observed or not, is the most difficult type of nonresponse to handle. The population mean estimators ignoring the nonrespondents typically have heavy biases. This paper studies an empi...
