OPTIMAL DESIGN OF SAMPLING FROM FINITE POPULATIONS: A CRITICAL REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW RESEARCH AREAS.

Abstract

A critical review of the design of sampling from finite populations is presented and new research areas are developed. A major motivation for this study is an attempt at conceptual aspects of estimating vectors rather than linear functions of the coordinates of vectors. Areas that receive attention, keeping in mind vector estimation are: (1) The theoretical foundations for designs of sampling procedures from finite populations; (2) Bayes and minimax designs for single (one-stage) and sample procedures; (3) Bayes and minimax designs for double (two-stage) and sequential procedures; (4) optimal designs in the multivariate case; (5) the admissibility of estimators and procedures; (6) the problem of sampling with varying probabilities.
