A GENERAL DELETE-GROUP JACKKNIFE VARIANCE ESTIMATOR FOR STRATIFIED SAMPLING SURVEY
In this article, the accuracy of point estimates in survey sampling is evaluated using variance estimates. The jackknife has been suggested as a useful resampling technique. The approximation of sampling relative error for the total in stratified sampling without replacement from finite populations is reviewed, and a general delete-group jackknife method of Cao et al. [5] is derived.
