Optimum stratification for equal allocation

  • Published:
Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The problem of optimum stratification on the auxiliary variablex for equal allocation has been considered. A cum\(f\sqrt \varphi \) rule of finding approximately optimum strata boundaries (AOSB) has been suggested. A numerical investigation into the relative efficiency of equal allocation with respect to optimum allocation has also been made.
