Abstract: In the present paper, a multi-objective goal optimization mechanism is developed by trading off between cost and variance. Both are adversaries to each other while allocating a sample size even in stratified sampling design. Discussion section shows how these adversaries put their influence on optimal selection. This is a dual optimization procedure in which variance or mean square error is optimized in the first step and then considering some compromise on variance, cost is optimized. The process is applied to both individual and multi-objective programming models.
