Migration as a means of population control [PDF]
Population Studies, 1971 Abstract The more crowded West Indian islands lose citizens each year through emigration, and they are small enough for an appreciable relief of population pressure to be thereby afforded. Each year some of the inhabitants of Java move to Sumatra and elsewhere under official sponsorship, part of the rationale for the policy being the relief of ...

Estimating the Mean of a Finite Population
The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1960 In sampling from a finite population, the nonexistence of a uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator for the mean $\mu$ has been demonstrated by Godambe [3], and the inadmissibility of the sample mean as an estimator for $\mu$, when sampling is with replacement and equal probabilities, has been proved by Des Raj and Khamis [2] and by Basu [1].

Predictive Estimation of Finite Population Mean Using Exponential Estimators [PDF]
Statistika: Statistics and Economy Journal, 2014 This paper suggested the ratio-type and product-type exponential estimators of the population mean of a study variable through predictive approach using Bahl and Tuteja (1991) ratio-type and product-type exponential estimators as a predictor of the mean

Application of Randomized Response Techniques Using Dichotomous Response for Mean Wage in Czechia and Slovakia [PDF]
Statistika: Statistics and Economy JournalResearch of controversial topics (drug consumption, corruption) requires reliable estimates of population means of sensitive variables (spending on drugs, illegal sources of income). To avoid non-response and fabricated responses surveys using randomized

An Unbiased Estimator of Finite Population Mean Using Auxiliary Information
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2021 In this paper, an unbiased estimator is constructed by using a linear combination of an estimator of study variable and mean per unit estimator of an auxiliary variable under simple random sampling without replacement scheme.

A Note on the Posterior Mean of a Population Mean [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1969 Summary It is a well-known result, see for example Lindley (1965) and Raiffa and Schlaifer (1961), that if x̄ is the mean of a sample of independent observations distributed N(μ, σ2) where σ2 is known, and if μ has been assigned a normal prior distribution, N(m, v), then the posterior expectation of μ, given the sufficient statistic x ...

Population mean scores predict child mental disorder rates: validating SDQ prevalence estimators in Britain. [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND: For adult physical and mental health, the population mean predicts the proportion of individuals with 'high' scores. This has not previously been investigated for child mental health.

A Novel Family of Hybrid Neutrosophic Estimators for Population Mean Estimation [PDF]
Neutrosophic Sets and SystemsThis paper introduces a novel family of hybrid neutrosophic estimators for estimating the population mean when dealing with indeterminate data. Building upon neutrosophic statistics, we propose two innovative estimators that synergistically combine ratio-

On the Meaning and Existence of an Effective Population Size [PDF]
Genetics, 2005 Abstract We investigate conditions under which a model with stochastic demography or population structure converges to the coalescent with a linear change in timescale. We argue that this is a necessary condition for the existence of a meaningful effective population size.
