A bootstrap variance estimation under stratification with few units per stratum.
(Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability Letters, 2022)
The measurement errors exist and sample survey results are always uncertain because only a portion of the population is
measured. Larger samples and superior measurement tools can help to reduce this uncertainty. The ...
Coverage properties of a neural network estimator of finite population total in high-dimensional space.
(Journal of Mathematics, 2022)
The problem in nonparametric estimation of finite population total particularly when dealing with high-dimensional datasets is addressed in this paper. The coverage properties of a robust finite population total estimator ...
On quantiles estimation based on stratified sampling using multiplicative bias correction approach.
(Journal of Mathematics, 2022)
In the context of stratified sampling, we develop a nonparametric regression technique to estimating finite population quantiles in model-based frameworks using a multiplicative bias correction strategy. Furthermore, the ...
