Abstract

In this study, we have proposed a sampling method and an estimation method for efficiently estimating the mean of a population which has a linear trend. These methods involve drawing a sample by the so-called "centered balanced systematic sampling", which is an extension of systematic sampling, and then estimating the population mean with an adjusted estimator, not with the sample mean itself. We used the concept of interpolation in determining the adjusted estimator.\Ve compared the efficiency of the proposed estimator with those of the estimators from existing methods, under the expected mean square error criterion based on the infinite superpopulation model introduced by Cochran(1946). The proposed method is for use in the case when the sample size n(2 5) is an odd number and k(the reciprocal of the sampling fraction) is an even number. A good result was also obtained in an example using computer simulation. simulation.

본 연구에서는 선형추세를 갖는 모집단에 대한 효율적인 표본추출방법과 모평균 추정법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 계통추출을 확장한 중심균형계통추출을 써서 표본을 뽑은 뒤 표본평균보다 수정된 추정량을 써서 모평균을 추정하는 것이다. 수정된 추정량을 정하는 데에 보간법의 개념을 사용하였다. 제안된 추정량과 기존의 방법에 으한 추정량들의 효율을 Cochran(1946)의 무한초모집단모형에 근거를 둔 기대평균제곱오차를 기준으로 하여 비교하였다. 제안된 방법은 표본크기 n($\geq$5)이 홀수이고 추출률의 역수인 $textsc{k}$가 짝수인 경우에 사용하기 위한 것이다. 모의실험을 이용한 예어서도 역시 좋은 결과가 얻어졌다.
