This example illustrates the use of regression analysis in a simple random cluster sampling design. The data are from S rndal, Swenson, and Wretman (1992, p. 652). A total of 284 Swedish ...

Consider the example in the section "Stratified Sampling". The study population is a junior high school with a total of 4,000 students in grades 7, 8, and 9. Researchers want to know how much these ...

The modified two-stage sampling design is easy to implement and can be applied to a wider range of populations than adaptive cluster sampling. We evaluate the proposed sampling design by simulating ...

This paper focuses on an increasingly popular sampling design based on spatial replicates that are not selected randomly and that are expected to exhibit Markovian dependence. We develop two new ...
