Allocation in Multivariate Stratified Surveys with Non-Linear Random Cost Function

چکیده
In this paper, we consider an allocation problem in multivariate surveys with non-linear costs of enumeration as a problem of non-linear stochastic programming with multiple objective functions. The solution is obtained through Chance Constrained programming. A different formulation of the problem is also presented in which the non-linear cost function is minimised under the precision constraints on estimates of various characters. The solution is then obtained by using Modified E-model. A numerical example is solved for both the formulations.

A Fuzzy Chance Constraint Programming Approach for Optimal Allocation in Multivariate Stratified Surveys: A Compromise Solution
Optimal allocation of sample size among various strata is an important step to get the precise estimates for population parameters and to reduce the cost of the survey. A reasonable criterion for optimal allocation is the minimization of the variances of the estimates for a specified cost or to minimize the cost of survey for desired precision of the estimates. The total cost of survey is a fun...
متن کاملComparison of Modified Extended Lexicographic Technique with Fuzzy and Value Function Techniques Using the Auxiliary Information as Attributes
In this article, we propose compromise allocations for multivariate stratified random sampling using the auxiliary attributes under non-response. We modified extended lexicographic goal programming technique and compared it with fuzzy goal programming and value function technique. We addressed the problem of compromise allocation when the auxiliary information is in the form of an auxiliary att...
متن کاملInteger programming formulations applied to optimal allocation in stratified sampling
The problem of optimal allocation of samples in surveys using a stratified sampling plan was first discussed by Neyman in 1934. Since then, many researchers have studied the problem of the sample allocation in multivariate surveys and several methods have been proposed. Basically, these methods are divided into two classes: The first class comprises methods that seek an allocation which minimiz...
متن کاملStratified Median Ranked Set Sampling: Optimum and Proportional Allocations
In this paper, for the Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling (SMRSS), proposed by Ibrahim et al. (2010), we examine the proportional and optimum sample allocations that are two well-known methods for sample allocation in stratified sampling. We show that the variances of the mean estimators of a symmetric population in SMRSS using optimum and proportional allocations to strata are smaller than ...
متن کاملAllocation in Multivariate Stratified Sampling in Presence of Non-Response: A New Approch
7.1 Introduction In mail surveys, it is observed that the data may not be obtained in the first attempt, sometimes due to absenteeism and sometimes due to the refusal of the subject. This problem was first considered by Hansen and Hurwitz (1946), in which the population was divided into the groups of respondents and non respondents. They determine the sample size to be attempted on the first oc...
