A New Power Allocation Method with a Nonlinear Cost Constraint in Stratified Random Sampling

Abstract

When the population is heterogeneous, stratified random sampling is generally preferred for estimation the population parameters. There are a lot of sample allocation methods in stratified random sampling. However, most of sample allocation methods ignore the selection cost or assume the selection cost as equal in all strata. Bankier also suggested a power allocation method without considering the cost function [1]. However, in real life applications, it is very rare to come across such cases. Therefore, it would be more realistic to take the cost into account for allocation procedures. In this study, a new power allocation method is proposed by taking into account a non-linear cost function constraint in Bankier’s method. The Neyman allocation and square root allocation results are also obtained by using this new allocation method. The performance of the proposed method is examined for different model parameters and their different cases using data from 2012 Structural Business Survey of TURKSTAT.
