Sponsor: Section on Survey Research Methods

Title: Variance of a Sample Variance in a Finite-Population Sampling
Author(s): Eungchun Cho*+ and Moon Jung Cho and John L. Eltinge
Companies: Kentucky State University and Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Labor Statistics
Address: 810 Spring Hill Lane, Frankfort, KY, 40601,
Keywords: sample variance ; randomization variance ; polykays ; moments of finite population
Abstract:

A simple, direct derivation of the randomization variance of the sample variance and related formulae are presented. Examples of the special case in which the populations consist of finite arithmetic sequences are given. A link to the elaborate algebra of "polykays" developed by Tukey to describe relationships between the moments of a finite population and associated moments of simple random samples is also given.
