Abstract

The cost is known to be proportional to the size of sample. We consider a cost function of the form Cost=c1np+c2npmq where c1, c2 p, and q are all positive constants. This cost function is to be used in finding an optimal allocation in two-stage cluster sampling. The optimal allocations of n and m gives the properties of uniqueness under some conditions and of monotonicity with p>0 when q=1.
