On regression estimation of finite population means - ARCHIVED
Articles and reports: 12-001-X19980013911
Description:
This paper examines the main properties of the generalized regression estimator of a finite population mean and those of the regression estimator obtained from the optimal difference estimator. Given that the latter can be more efficient than the former, conditions allowing this to happen are established, and a criterion for choosing between the two types of regression estimators follows. A simulation study illustrates their finite sample performances.
