Abstract

So far, several sampling weights have been presented, particularly in Chap. 8 . The general goal is to try to utilize all possible auxiliary variables to reduce any possible and obvious bias in the point estimates by using weights that are as advanced as possible. Not much can be done without appropriate micro and macro auxiliary variables. This chapter does not continue any further into improving these weights, but we present some special cases that can be used with any available weights—that is, the best possible weights naturally lead to the best results. We thus write the weights in this chapter more generally, using the symbols w_ or wk. Four different cases are presented.
