Estimation of major crop yield rates at the district level using calibration estimation technique is reported here when auxiliary information is available at the unit level only for the selected villages within each district and when the sampling design under consideration is two-stage equal probability without replacement. An estimator was developed for the complex sampling design under consideration using the calibration approach. Through evaluation using real data collected from a pilot survey, we found that the proposed calibration estimator performs better than the usual design-based Horvitz-Thompson estimator under two-stage sampling design.

Abstract


Estimation of major crop yield rates at the district level using calibration estimation technique is reported here when auxiliary information is available at the unit level only for the selected villages within each district and when the sampling design under consideration is two-stage equal probability without replacement. An estimator was developed for the complex sampling design under consideration using the calibration approach. Through evaluation using real data collected from a pilot survey, we found that the proposed calibration estimator performs better than the usual design-based Horvitz-Thompson estimator under two-stage sampling design.
