Abstract
A novel approach of dialectical estimation is discussed in which averaging two somewhat contradictory estimates from the same individual reduces error which is larger in magnitude than the reduction in sampling error expected when two estimates from the same individual are obtained on the basis of an internal probability distribution. Such procedures are useful in judgment sampling where a single judge is available for evaluation and his subjective assessment is affected by systematic error in addition to random error. Hegelian dialectics is the basis of such a strategy and can lead to a series of dialectical averages that tend to the true value of the characteristic under investigation.
