Abstract:
A survey of recent advances in the problem of estimating the structure of
a finite population is given. We include into the survey the results
closely connected with the allocation problem and consider
both homogeneous and stratified populations. A comparative
analysis of the results obtained by using sufficiency and likelihood
principles is carried out for a general sampling scheme. The asymptotical
approach is also presented. The optimal (asymptotically optimal) inferences
for both point and confidential estimation are the main object of the article.
Possible extensions of the investigations in this area are also discussed.
