Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter01:26

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

4.3K
The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion

5.6K
Collecting samples or responses from an entire population takes significant time and effort, so a researcher collects responses from only a sample of that population. Suppose a study needs to collect information about a specific mobile application. After sample collection, the researcher analyzes the data and discovers that most individuals in the sample use that specific mobile application. The sample proportion measures the number of individuals in a sample who either use or don't use the...

Systematic Sampling Method

11.1K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

Cluster Sampling Method

Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population.
Convenience sampling is a non-random method of sample selection; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data. For example, a marketing...

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Statistical Inference
  • Computational Statistics

Background:

  • Finite population sampling often assumes independent units, which is unrealistic in many complex scenarios.
  • Bayesian hierarchical models offer a flexible framework for incorporating prior information and complex data structures.
  • Existing methods may not adequately address dependencies between population units.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide perspectives on Bayesian inference for finite population quantities with complex dependencies.
  • To extend inferential frameworks to accommodate dependent units and nonignorable responses.
  • To illustrate applications using graphical models and spatial processes.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of Bayesian hierarchical models, including those yielding Horvitz-Thompson estimators.
  • Introduction of frameworks for ignorable and nonignorable response mechanisms in dependent finite populations.
  • Application of multivariate dependencies using graphical models and spatial processes.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of inferential frameworks for complex dependencies in finite populations.
  • Presentation of methodologies for handling both ignorable and nonignorable responses.
  • Illustrative analyses of spatial finite populations showcasing the discussed methods.

Conclusions:

  • Bayesian inference provides a robust approach for finite populations with complex dependencies.
  • The proposed frameworks enhance the ability to model and analyze dependent data structures.
  • Graphical models and spatial processes are valuable tools for understanding multivariate dependencies.
