The problem of estimating the variance of the ratio estimator in sampling with probability proportional to aggregate size is investigated. The form of nonnegative unbiased variance estimators is found ...
A study has been conducted which examines the sampling variance of raingage networks, the most commonly used precipitation estimating system. The study is based on the use of computer-simulated ...
This article looks at a simple structured approach to assigning variance contributions and to assuring that the analytical procedure is fit for purpose. The ...
