Abstract

A sampling design is considered for multipurpose surveys in which several stratifying variables are available and the objective is to estimate totals or means of several variables, each highly correlated with one of the stratifying variables. The design involves selecting separate subsamples independently by stratified sampling with respect to each of the stratifying variables in turn. Estimation then involves pooling data from the separate subsamples using methods from multiple frame sampling. The strategy is compared with standard approaches in a simulation study and it is shown that significant gains in efficiency can arise. The application of the proposed strategy to a market research problem of designing a survey of readership of agricultural publications is described.
