Abstract:

The linear regression estimator of population mean owed to Hansen, Hurwitz, and Madow (1953), and that of variance by Das and Tripathi (1978) are shown to be unique. We modify the methodology of Deville and Särndal (1992), and others. For example, note that Hidiroglou and Särndal (1995, 1998), Tracy and Singh (2000), Arnab and Singh (2003), Wu and Luan (2003), Singh (A.C.) and Wu (2003), Ash (2003), Patel and Chaudhari (2003), and Estevao and Sarndal (2003) papers can be improved using Singh (2003), "Advanced Sampling Theory with Applications," and by accounting for a very important point. Some changes in the well-known statistical packages such as GES, SUDDAN, CALMAR, etc., are recommended.
