» Sampling Techniques » Simple Random Sampling and Sampling With Probability Proportional to Size
Appeared in Year: 2013
Describe in Detail
In simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR), the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of population mean . Obtain the variance of the estimator of the population total Y.
Explanation
Sample mean is an unbiased estimator of population mean i. e.
Sample mean is given by
It can also be written as
Where
Hence
Variance of the estimator of the population total Y: :

» Applied Statistics » Time Series Analysis » Determination of Trend, Seasonal and Cyclical Fluctuations
Appeared in Year: 2012
Describe in Detail
Discuss link relative method to estimate seasonal fluctuations, with appropriate illustrations.
Explanation
link relative is the value of one season expressed as a percentage of the preceding season. The word ‘season’ refers to time period, it means month for monthly data, quarter for quarterly data etc.
Under this method, the seasonal indices are found with the following steps.
Steps:
(i) Find the… (230 more words) …

» Sampling Techniques » Stratified Random Sampling
Appeared in Year: 2013
Describe in Detail
Describe the principles of stratification. Explain how the allocation of sample size in different strata is made.
Explanation
Principles of stratification:
The principle of stratification is the division of the population in such a way that the elements within a stratum are as similar as possible and the means of the strata are as different as possible.
