A new algorithm for the construction of stratum boundaries in skewed populations - ARCHIVED
Articles and reports: 12-001-X20040027749
Description:
A simple and practicable algorithm for constructing stratum boundaries in such a way that the coefficients of variation are equal in each stratum is derived for positively skewed populations. The new algorithm is shown to compare favourably with the cumulative root frequency method (Dalenius and Hodges 1957) and the Lavallée and Hidiroglou (1988) approximation method for estimating the optimum stratum boundaries.
