To pool or not to pool: The discrete data

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1991, vol. 11, issue 3, 233-237

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the classical problem of pooling proportions of two independent random samples taken from two possibly identical binomial distributions. The primary interest is in the estimation of [theta]1 from population I. Three estimators, i.e. the classical estimator, pooled estimator and preliminary test estimator are proposed. Their asymptotic mean squared errors are derived and compared.
