Inverse sampling with unequal probabilities without replacement is modified from the Midzuno's scheme. An unbiased estimator of the population total of a study variable is presented. The variance and the corresponding unbiased estimator of this variance are given. An unbiased estimator of the number of units in a given class, its variance and an unbiased estimate of the variance are also given. These estimators are obtained via the Murthy's estimator using the Rao-Blackwell approach conditioned on a minimum sufficient statistic. The estimates do not depend on the order of draws and are easy to compute. An example is given to illustrate the idea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
