Abstract

A sampling procedure involving repeated application of double sampling for stratification on several successive occasions is considered. The formulae for the estimate of the mean on any current occasion and its variance are obtained. The determination of optimum allocation of available resources and the extension of the procedures for uni-stage sampling, to multi-stage sampling, are briefly indicated. The use of the design, suggested in this paper, is illustrated by its application to a recently conducted survey for estimation of coconut production in the State of Assam. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The Roman Catholic missionaries were the first to appreciate the reserve, personal simplicity and ethical rectitude which Indians expect of holy men. Despite the recent troubles arising from Catholic missionary work in Assam and other Northeastern states, the Roman emissaries are still the only ones who try to make their behavior conform in considerable measure to the spirit of the Indian tradition. Billy Graham, a religious man came to India and gave a presentation on Roman emissaries. In response to a question by Graham at least a dozen in the audience said they had come more than 200 miles to hear him. A couple of hundred said they had traveled at least a hundred miles. The whole affair was marvelously organized by the sponsoring committee.
