Abstract:
|
A well-known technique of estimation in the field of survey sampling is to adjust the design weights attached to the data and to calibrate those weights based on the optimization of a metric measure subject to certain constraints on the auxiliary information available at the estimation stage. Emphasizing on the weight system and deriving a distance procedure with the support of calibration equations we propose new improved calibration technique for two stage sampling. We also extend the proposed technique to higher order calibration in two-stage sampling.
