Talk:Horvitz–Thompson estimator

The Article page claims:


 * Indented line For post-stratified study designs, estimation of $$\pi$$ and $$\mu$$ are done in distinct steps. In such cases, computating the variance of $$\hat{\mu}_{HT}$$ is not straightforward. Resampling techniques such as the bootstrap or the jackknife can be applied to gain consistent estimates of the variance of the Horvitz–Thompson estimator.

This matter is discussed in, Section 7.6, beginning on page 764, where both an approximate variance and a variance estimator are obtained. empirical_bayesian@ieee.org 00:52, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
