A sample of 100 customers is selected from the data set Customers by simple random sampling. With simple random sampling and no stratification in the sample design, the selection probability is the ...

Example 62.2: Simple Random Cluster Sampling 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, ...

We assume that the natural first-phase sample is collected with probability of selection proportional to size for each unit. The objective is then to use the ranked set sampling procedure to obtain a ...
