The generalized regression (greg) predictor for the finite population total of a real variable is often employed when values of an auxiliary variable are available. Several variance estimators for it do well in large samples though bearing no optimality properties. We find a variance estimator which

A confidence interval for the generalized variance of a matrix normal distribution with unknown mean is constructed which improves on the usual minimum size (i.e., minimum length or minimum ratio of endpoints) interval based on the sample generalized variance alone in terms of both coverage probabil
**Summary.** There is a simple robust variance estimator for clusterβcorrelated data. While this estimator is well known, it is poorly documented, and its wide range of applicability is often not understood. The estimator is widely used in sample survey research, but the results in the sample surve
