Estimation of Finite Population Mean in Multivariate Stratified Sampling under Cost Function Using Goal Programming

In practical utilization of stratified random sampling scheme, the investigator meets a problem to select a sample that maximizes the precision of a finite population mean under cost constraint. An allocation of sample size becomes complicated when more than one characteristic is observed from each...
