Abstract

For a stratified population under inverse sampling, we propose and study an unbiased estimator for the mean of units belonging to a domain with specific features. An alternative, simpler, ratio-type estimator is also considered. Empirical studies show that strategies based on inverse sampling can be superior to a more traditional strategy based on stratified simple random sampling with a fixed number of draws in each stratum.
