» 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 link relative of all the seasonal data using the fo

» 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.
Auxiliary information (past or some other information) related to the character under study may be used to divide the
