Abstract:
|
It is common practice to use finite population correction factors (fpc) in estimating variances when sampling from a finite population. Various approximate fpcs are used with more complex designs sometimes. When the interest is in a wider population than the specific finite sampling frame, many argue that it suffices to drop the fpc from the variance estimate, but others maintain this is appropriate only in a limited number of contexts.
