Rao}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this manuscript, we discuss the problem of determining the optimum stratification of a study (or main) variable based on the auxiliary variable that follows a uniform distribution. If the stratification of survey variable is made using the auxiliary variable it may lead to substantial gains in precision of the estimates. This problem is formulated as a Nonlinear Programming Problem (NLPP), which turn out to multistage decision problem and is solved using dynamic programming technique. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {8}, number = {3}, year = {2014}, pages = {508 - 512}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997676}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/87}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 87, 2014}, }
