Variance Estimation by Jackknife Method Under Two-Phase Complex Survey Design

Debesh Roy and Md. Safiquzzaman

Abstract:
The jackknife technique is applied to a general class of estimators, under two-phase sampling, for variance estimation. Considering a natural population, the performance of the weighted jackknife variance estimator has been compared with other variance estimators, including the unweighted jackknife variance estimator. A figure is included to clarify this comparison.
