An Investigation of Some Estimators of Variance for Systematic Sampling
研究了八种系统抽样方差估计量的理论性质和实证表现,基于超总体模型和真实数据比较,为调查实践者选择合适估计量提供建议。
Abstract This article provides to the survey practitioner some guidance about the problem of variance estimation for equal probability single-start systematic samples. An investigation of eight alternative estimators of the variance of the sample mean is presented. In the first half of the investigation, the theoretical properties of the estimators are compared using several superpopulation models; in the second half, the comparison is empirical, based on several real populations. Recommendations are made about the appropriateness of the various estimators.
