The method of re-weighting (calibration) in survey sampling
Michálková, Anna ; Omelka, Marek (advisor) ; Antoch, Jaromír (referee)
In this thesis, we study re-weighting when estimating totals in survey sampling. The purpose of re-weighting is to adjust the structure of the sample in order to comply with the structure of the population (with respect to given auxiliary variables). We sum up some known results for methods of the traditional desin-based approach, more attention is given to the model-based approach. We generalize known asymptotic results in the model-based theory to a wider class of weighted estimators. Further, we propose a consistent estimator of asymptotic variance, which takes into consideration weights used in estimator of the total. This is in contrast to usually recommended variance estimators derived from the design-based approach. Moreover, the estimator is robust againts particular model misspecifications. In a simulation study, we investigate how the proposed estimator behaves in comparison with variance estimators which are usually recommended in the literature or used in practice. 1
