Abstract:

Two broad categories of research areas that have received special attention in statistics are estimation and the testing of hypotheses. Indeed, as Cochran indicated, one feature of the growth of theoretical statistics is the emergence of a large body of theory which discusses how to make good estimates from data. In the development of theory for sample surveys, however, little use has been made of this knowledge. This paper will deal with maximum likelihood estimation for complex data. A new approach will be presented.
