Abstract:

In sample surveys variance generally decomposes into the sum of two terms: variance among primary units and variance within primary units. If the secondary units are composite, variance within a primary unit can be decomposed into variance among secondary units and variance within secondary units. This can be extended as necessary. This decomposition is the central idea in stratified sampling, cluster sampling, regression and ratio estimation, and ANOVA. It can also be applied to cases where the primary units overlap.
