Estimation of a quantile in finite population
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2002 An estimator of the quantile of a study variable distribution function in finite population and its confidence interval is proposed. The estimator is adapted to the two-stage cluster sample which is used in a household budget survey carried out in ...

Approximations to distribution of median in stratified samples
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2011 We consider an Edgeworth type approximation to the distribution function of sample median in the case of stratified samples drawn without replacement. We give explicit expression of this approximation, and also its empirical version based on bootstrap ...

Polygenic Adaptation in a Population of Finite Size
Entropy, 2020 Polygenic adaptation in response to selection on quantitative traits has become an important topic in evolutionary biology. Here we review the recent literature on models of polygenic adaptation.

Biological control via "ecological" damping: An approach that attenuates non-target effects [PDF]
, 2015 In this work we develop and analyze a mathematical model of biological control to prevent or attenuate the explosive increase of an invasive species population in a three-species food chain. We allow for finite time blow-up in the model as a mathematical

Design-Based Ratio Estimators and Central Limit Theorems for Clustered, Blocked RCTs
, 2021 This article develops design-based ratio estimators for clustered, blocked randomized controlled trials (RCTs), with an application to a federally funded, school-based RCT testing the effects of behavioral health interventions.

Estimation of confidence intervals for quantiles in a finite population
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2008 Confidence intervals provide a way of reporting an estimate of a population quantile along with some information about the precision of estimates. Some procedures that may be used to obtain estimates of confidence intervals for quantiles in a finite ...

Bootstrap, jackknife and Edgeworth approximations for finite population L-statistics
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2010 In this paper we give exact bootstrap estimators for the parameters defining one-term Edgeworth expansion of distribution function of finite population L-statistic and compare these estimators with corresponding jackknife estimators. We also compare `````

An Extension of Generalized Linear Models to Finite Mixture Outcome Distributions
, 2016 Finite mixture distributions arise in sampling a heterogeneous population. Data drawn from such a population will exhibit extra variability relative to any single subpopulation.

The consistency of bootstrap and jackknife variance estimators for finite population L-statistics
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2012 For the linear combinations of order statistics (L-statistics), we present conditions sufficient for the consistency of their finite-population bootstrap variance estimator and the classical jackknife variance estimator.
