Preface

We can observe gradual increase in the range of survey sampling methods and their applications in the fields of economics, geology, and agriculture, among others. These applications have been followed by new theoretical solutions that provide better sampling designs or estimators. Recently, several highly important properties of sampling designs have been discovered, and many new methods have been published. This small monograph is the result of the author’s interest in survey designs. In general, the book represents a synthesis of contributions on sampling designs that are dependent on sample moments or the order statistics of auxiliary variables. The book should be useful for students and statisticians whose work involves survey sampling. The book can offer new inspirations for those looking for new sampling designs dependent on auxiliary variables. In some sense, this book has been prepared because of Professor Miodrag Lovric who invited me to write some brief notes in the International Encyclopedia of Statistical Science edited by him. This led to the proposal to write this book. The Author is grateful to Reviewers for
