Abstract: Abstract Classical sampling theory addresses the effect of different sampling designs consisting of a sampling method and estimation technique, on the efficiency of the estimation of a parameter under study. Note that sampling design is used with different meanings in the literature (cf., for instance, Särndal et al. 1992, p. 27). In the practice of statistical surveys, totals and functions of totals, such as means, proportions, variances, covariances, correlations, or regression coefficients, cover a large majority of the interesting parameters. Hence, sampling theory traditionally focuses mainly on the estimation of such parameters (cf., for instance, Cochran 1977).
