AN OPTIMAL METHOD OF ESTIMATION IN ROTATION SAMPLING
Mina Towhidi and Mohammad-Reza Namazi-Rad
|
Abstract: The paper offers a brief introduction to rotation surveys. Then, two commonly used methods of estimation in rotation surveys are introduced. A new estimation method is also discussed in this paper. New estimates are calculated based on a linear additive model with dependent errors. Using a simulation study, the mentioned estimation techniques will be compared. The results show that the new method of estimation introduced in this paper is the most efficient one. |
Keywords and phrases: rotation survey, linear additive model, simulation. |
