In other words, W = N N, = I,..., L are unknown before samping. Doube samping is a two-phase samping. For exampe, we may ca many voters in an opinion po to identify income eve phase 1 sampe), when ony a few coud be interviewed phase sampe) for purposes of competing a detaied questionnaire. Phase 1: Take a arge sampe of size n for obtaining preiminary information such as income eve of a voter) to identify strata with Ŵ = n n, = 1,..., L denote the proportion of the first sampe faing into stratum. Then Ŵ is an unbiased estimator of W = N N. Phase : A much smaer sampe of n eements are randomy samped from the n eements identified in stratum for coecting information on Y. Then the subsampe mean and variance, ȳ and s, are cacuated for each stratum. N X, Y, Sy SRS s s n n n 1 n L x, Ŵ Post-stratification n SRS n 1 n L x, ȳ, s SydU STAT ) Second semester Dr. J. Chan 9

13 STAT3014/3914 Appied Stat.-Samping C-Stratified rand. sampe An estimator of the popuation mean if the phase samping fractions n N are a sma and N is arge is Y st,ds = varŷ st,ds) = Ŵ ȳ n n 1 [ Ŵ Ŵ n ) ] s + Ŵȳ Ŷ st,ds) n n If n is so arge that Ŵ n varŷ st,ds) = is negigibe, this variance estimate reduces to ] [Ŵ s + Ŵȳ Ŷ st,ds) n n Ignoring fpc terms, the first part takes the usua form with w repacing N N. The second part is the additiona variance since we estimate the weights W from a sampe. It is not necessariy to make the second term sma because it means making the ȳ about equa which is not desirabe because stratification is more efficient than SRS when the ȳ are quite different. Thus, choosing strata that produce different ȳ sti may be better than a SRS, even though doube samping might have to be empoyed to estimate the W. SydU STAT ) Second semester Dr. J. Chan 30

Private institutions tend to be smaer than pubic ones, so stratification is in order. Whie the data indicate the type of coege or university, the ist is not broken up according to type. A 1-in-10 systematic sampe was done to obtain information on type of coege and the resuts are: Private Pubic Tota n 1 = 84 n = 57 n = 141 Subsampes of 11 private and 1 pubic coeges gave the foowing data on enroments and facuty size.
