Abstract

This paper introduces a sampling plan for finite populations herein called ''variable size simple random sampling'' and compares properties of estimators based on it with results from the usual fixed size simple random sampling without replacement. Necessary and sufficient conditions (in the spirit of Hajek) for the limiting distribution of the sample total (or sample mean) to be normal are given. 19 refs.

Simple effective conservative treatment of uncertainty from sparse samples of random functions

Journal Article Romero, Vicente J. ; Schroeder, Benjamin B. ; Dempsey, J. Franklin ; ... - ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems. Part B. Mechanical Engineering

This paper examines the variability of predicted responses when multiple stress-strain curves (reflecting variability from replicate material tests) are propagated through a finite element model of a ductile steel can being slowly crushed. Over 140 response quantities of interest (including displacements, stresses, strains, and calculated measures of material damage) are tracked in the simulations. Each response quantity’s behavior varies according to the particular stress-strain curves used for the materials in the model. We desire to estimate response variability when only a few stress-strain curve samples are available from material testing. Propagation of just a few samples will usually result inmore »« less

Generation of an ordered simple random sample without replacement using one random number

Technical Report Etheridge, Y H ; Wright, T

Nigam and Gupta presented by examples a method for the identification of the n units to be included in a simple random sample (SRS) for selection from a finite universe of N(> n) distinct and indentifiable units. The method calls for the generation of only one random number to select a SRS of n units without having to list all binomial coefficients, possible samples - practically all other methods require the generation of between n and N random numbers. Wright has given a slightly faster and generalized algorithm and demonstrated that the generalized algorithm to generate a SRS has amore »« less
Rare attributes in finite universe: Hypotheses testing specification and exact randomized upper confidence bounds

Technical Report Wright, T

When attributes are rare and few or none are observed in the selected sample from a finite universe, sampling statisticians are increasingly being challenged to use whatever methods are available to declare with high probability or confidence that the universe is near or completely attribute-free. This is especially true when the attribute is undesirable. Approximations such as those based on normal theory are frequently inadequate with rare attributes. For simple random sampling without replacement, an appropriate probability distribution for statistical inference is the hypergeometric distribution. But even with the hypergeometric distribution, the investigator is limited from making claims of attribute-freemore »« less

An empirical investigation of the use of ranks in. pi. ps sampling

Conference Wright, T

Let U/sub 1/,U/sub 2/,...,U/sub N/ be the N units of a finite population and let (y/sub i/,x/sub i/) be a vector of nonnegative components associated with the i/sup th/ unit, where the x's are known and the y's are unknown. A sample of fixed size n( 2. When a suitable variable x, which is directly proportional to the variable of interest y, is not available, one may know how to rank units reasonably well relative to the unknown y values before sample selection. When such ranking is possible, we introduce a simple and efficient ..pi..pswor sampling plan for general nmore »« less
