An Investigation of Some Estimators of Variance for Systematic Sampling
An Investigation of Some Estimators of Variance for Systematic Sampling
RR84-02
Abstract
This paper provides the survey practitioner some guidance about the problem of variance estimation for equal probability single-start systematic samples. An investigation of eight alternative estimators of the variance of the sample mean is presented. In the first half of the investigation, the theoretical properties of the estimators are compared using several super population models, while in the second half, the comparison is empirical, based on several real populations. Recommendations are made about the appropriateness of the various estimators.
