Sampling Theory and Methods

the long version

"The book is intended to be used as a text for both undergraduate and postgraduate students majoring in Statistics. This assumes very little background in Probability theory and the material is presented in an extremely simple style. An added feature of this book is the inclusion of several worked examples of theoretical nature.". "The book presents in detail several sampling schemes like simple random sampling, unequal probability sampling methods, systematic, stratified, cluster and multistage sampling. In addition to sampling schemes several estimating methods which include ratio and regression estimators are also discussed. The use of superpopulation models is also covered in detail. Some recent developments which include estimation of distribution functions, adaptive sampling schemes etc. are also presented."--BOOK JACKET.
