Modified Systeatic Sapling in the Presence of Linear Trend Zaheen Khan, and Javid Shabbir Keywords: Abstract A new systeatic sapling design called Modified Systeatic Sapling (MSS, proposed by ] is ore general than Linear Systeatic Sapling (LSS and Circular Systeatic Sapling (CSS In the present paper, this schee is further extended for populations having a linear trend Expressions for ean and variance of saple ean are obtained for the population having perfect linear trend aong population values Expression for the average variance is also obtained for super population odel Further, efficiency of MSS with respect to CSS is obtained for different saple size LSS, CSS, MSS, linear trend, super population 000 AMS Classification: 6DO5 Introduction In survey sapling, Linear Systeatic Sapling (LSS is a coonly used design Generally, it is useful when population size N is a ultiple of saple size n, ie N = nk ( k is the sapling interval Thus, we have k saples each of size n However, LSS is not beneficial when population size N is not a ultiple of the saple size n, ie N nk Because in this case, LSS cannot provide a constant saple size n, thus, estiate of population ean (total is biased Therefore, Circular Systeatic Sapling (CSS was introduced by Lahiri in 95 (cited in, p39] Contrary to LSS, CSS is not advantageous when population size N is a ultiple of the saple size n, ie N = nk as in this case, CSS produces n replicates of k saples Further, in CSS, the nuber of saples also rapidly increase to N as copared to k saples of LSS To iprove the efficiency of systeatic sapling, researchers proposed several odifications in the selection procedure The considerable work is done by 4], 6] and 7] In the recent years, 8] proposed Diagonal Systeatic Sapling (DSS under the condition that n k as a copetitor of LSS Later, the condition n k for DSS have relaxed by 9] The generalization of DSS is suggested by 0] Soe odification in LSS are proposed by ], in which odd and even saple sizes are dealt separately Further odification on LSS is also proposed by ] Diagonal Circular Systeatic Sapling (DCSS proposed by 5] is an extension of DSS to Departent of Matheatics and Statistics, Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Islaabad, Pakistan Eail: zkurdu@gailco, Corresponding Auther Departent of Statistics, Quaid-i-Aza University, Islaabad 4530, Pakistan, Eail: javidshabbir@gailco

the circular version of systeatic sapling A note on DCSS has been proposed by 3] However, soe of these schees are applicable when N = nk while other can be used only when N nk A new systeatic sapling design called Modified Systeatic Sapling (MSS proposed by ], which is applicable in both situations, whether N = nk or N nk According to this design, first copute least coon ultiple of N and n, ie L, then find k,, s and k, k = L n, = L N, s = N k and k = k /] or k = N/n] is rounded off to integer Consequently, s = n, which eans that there are sets and each set contains s units in a saple Thus, in MSS the j th unit of the i th set of a saple of n units can be written as: ( y (r ij = r+(i k+(j k hn if hn < r+(i k+(j k (h+n for h = 0,, ; i =,, 3,, and j =,, 3,, s This sapling schee reduces to LSS if L = N or N = nk and CSS if L = N n, the detail is given below If N = nk then L = N, k = k, = and s = n Thus, Equation ( reduces to ( y (r j = r + (j k, j =,, 3,, n which is LSS Siilarly, if L = N n, then k = N, = n and s = So, Equation ( can be written as (3 y (r i = r + (i k hn if hn < r + (i k (h + N for h = 0,, ; i =,, 3,, n Which is CSS To study the characteristics of MSS, we use an alternative ethod by partitioning the total nuber of saples into different sets of siilar saples To develop an alternative ethod, let us assue that k can be written as k = qk + r, q and r are quotient and reainder respectively Further, we assue that w = if ( q and, w = ( q if ( q > In both cases, there are two types of partitioning, ie between saples and within saples(see detail in Subsections and When w = In this case partitioning between saples and within saples are given in the Subsections and Partitioning between saples In this case, k possible saples are ainly partitioned into two groups The first group consists of initial k ( k saples and second group contains last ( k saples However, in the second group, there are ( subgroups, each attains k saples If a rando nuber r is selected fro the first k units of a population, there is a possibility that it is selected fro the first group, ie k ( k or it is selected fro the ( subgroups of the second group, ie k ( uk < r k ( u k such that u =,,, (, integer u is selected corresponding to a rando nuber r
