In a sailboat race, the navigator's attempts to plot the fastest possible course are hindered by shifty winds. We present mathematical models appropriate for this situation, which use statistical analysis of wind fluctuations and are amenable to stochastic ...
Nous passons en revue des techniques de rééchantillonnage utilisées pour l'estimation de variance en sondage. Les techniques de rééchantillonnage considérées sont basées sur la linéarisation, le jackknife, les répétitions équilibrées répétées, et le bootst ...
We discuss variance estimation by resampling in surveys in which data are missing. We derive a formula for jackknife linearization in the case of calibrated estimation with deterministic regression imputation, and compare the resulting variance estimates w ...
