On New Selection Procedures for Unequal Probability Sampling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new selection procedures in unequal probability sampling that can be used with Horvitz and Thompson Estimator. Expression for inclusion probability for ith unit ( i ) and joint inclusion probability of ith and jth unit ( ij ) has been obtained. Some desirable properties of i and ij has been verified for proposed procedure.

A Multiplicative Decomposition Property of the Screening-and-Selection Procedures of Nelson et al
Recently, Nelson et al. (2001a, b) formulated a class of combined screening-and-selection procedures for identifying the simulated system with optimal expected response when the number of alternatives is finite, but large enough to render conventional ranking-and-selection procedures impractical. Under a certain key assumption, they derived an additive decomposition lemma that provides a lower ...
متن کاملSmall Area Estimation under Informative Probability Sampling of Areas and Within the Selected Areas
In this article we show how to predict small area means and obtain valid MSE estimators and confidence intervals when the areas represented in the sample are sampled with unequal probabilities that are possibly related to the true (unknown) area means, and the sampling of units within the selected areas is with probabilities that are possibly related to the outcome values. Ignoring the effects ...
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 کاملA Fully Sequential Elimination Procedure for Indifference-Zone Ranking and Selection with Tight Bounds on Probability of Correct Selection
We consider the indifference-zone (IZ) formulation of the ranking and selection problem with independent normal samples and known sampling variance. In this problem, we must use stochastic simulation to select the best among several noisy simulated systems, with a statistical guarantee on solution quality. Existing IZ procedures sample excessively in problems with many alternatives, in part bec...
متن کاملSize constrained unequal probability sampling with a non-integer sum of inclusion probabilities
More than 50 methods have been developed to draw unequal probability samples with fixed sample size. All these methods require the sum of the inclusion probabilities to be an integer number. There are cases, however, where the sum of desired inclusion probabilities is not an integer. Then, classical algorithms for drawing samples cannot be directly applied. We present two methods to overcome th...
