Abstract:

For the special audit data where the qualified invoice amount is somewhere between $0 and the full invoice amount, we have discussed in Part I about stratum boundaries, sample size calculation, and sample size allocations. Here, we further analyze the efficiency and stability related to the allocations of the stratum sample size and number of strata, compare the two estimation methods: Mean Per Unit estimation and Ratio estimation under different percentages of qualified amount, and explore the conditions of using the Separate Ratio and Combined Ratio estimation methods.
