Abstract:

Post-stratification is used to improve the precision of survey estimators when categorical auxiliary information is available from external sources. In natural resource surveys, such information may be obtained from remote sensing data classified into categories and displayed as maps. These maps may be based on classification models fitted to the sample data. Post-stratification of the sample based on categories derived from the sample data ("endogenous post-stratification") violates the standard assumptions that observations are classified without error into post-strata, and post-stratum population counts are known. Properties of the endogenous post-stratification estimator (EPSE) are derived for the case of sample-fitted nonparametric models. Asymptotic and finite-sample properties of the nonparametric EPSE are investigated under both design and model frameworks.
