I n this paper we shall consider the problem of judging how good an actual compromise allocation is compared to Neyman's optimum allocation for the case of stratified random sampling by obtaining a bound to the ratio of the corresponding variances. A solution to a more general version of the problem

In this paper we discuss some aspects of allocation problem in stratified sampling.
The problem of determining the sample sizes in various strata when several characteristics are under study is formulated as a nonlinear multistage decision problem. Dynamic programming is used to obtain an integer solution to the problem.
A stratiยฎed random sampling plan is one in which the elements of the population are ยฎrst divided into nonoverlapping groups, and then a simple random sample is selected from each group. In this paper, we focus on determining the optimal sample size of each group. We show that various versions of thi
