Statistics & Probability Letters, 1989, vol. 8, issue 2, 157-162

Abstract: We analyze the problem of estimating some particular indices (based on information measures) in simple-stage cluster sampling, and conclude that the indices based on information measures of degree [beta] = 2 allow us to construct unbiased estimates of their population values.
