Finite population sampling: a model-design synthesis

Statistics in Transition new series, 2012, vol. 13, issue 2, 235-242

Abstract: The paper considers a general class of Bayes estimators for estimating the finite population mean which also achieve design consistency. Some exact results are given where Bayes estimators agree with the Horvitz-Thompson or ratio estimators. For a wider class of priors, asymptotic mathematical equivalence of Bayes estimators with the above estimators is provided.
