โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, the asymptotic distribution of the two main estimators used in adaptive cluster sampling is studied. In particular, it is proved that under suitable conditions the Hร ajek theorem can be applied for both estimators. Finally, these results are supported by simulation studies. Interval estimation and hypothesis testing are the main motivations for the following studies.

In adaptive cluster sampling designs, neighbouring units are added to the sample whenever the value of the variable of interest satisfies a chosen criterion. Commonly, the criterion consists of a fixed, prespecified value, so that additional units are added to the sample whenever a unit is observed
