The author studies the well-known problem of variance minimization in sampling for population mean estimation from a rather uncommon point of view. He shows that in sampling with unequal probabilities a location- shift of the variable of interest may cause variance reduction both in sampling with and without replacement (the latter case with a bit more

Abstract This paper studies the properties of iterated and direct multistep forecasting techniques in the presence of in-sample location shifts (breaks in the mean).
