Abstract: | Summary Postulating an intra-class correlation structure for a finite population vector of variate — values optimal stratified and unstratified strategies for estimating the total are identified and relative efficiencies noted. Higher efficiency of stratified over unstratified sampling is demonstrated for usual estimators in ppswr case, in particular. In the uncorrelated case appropriately chosen two-stage strategies are observed to fare at par with optimal stratified ones. |
