摘要:

Currently there is considerable discussion as to the effect of compulsory retirement on the national economy and on the vitality and longevity of the individuals concerned. Some experiences would seem to indicate that retirement causes higher mortality than is standard for the ages concerned. Frequently, however, such conclusions are not warranted because the individuals who do retire under voluntary provisions tend to be those who are in poor health. When retirement is compulsory, such experience as is available does not indicate high mortality but this is probably, at least in part, due to the fact that many quite healthy workers are among the retired group in contrast with the situation under plans having voluntary retirement. There is no conclusive data currently on hand to indicate for a given group of individuals what the effect of retirement on mortality really is depending upon whether similar groups of individuals could retire or could continue working.

摘要:

* The author wishes to express his indebtedness to Mr. S. Krasovec, formerly director of the Federal Statistical Office, and to Mr. M. Macura, director of the Serbian Statistical Office, who spent a lot of energy to make this research possible. The research described in this paper belongs to the new field in statistics that could be labeled “The problem of the value of statistical data.” The most important work in connection with this problem has been done in the USA and India. So far obtained results and experiences can be found in the following papers: M. H. Hansen, W. N. Hurwitz, E. S. Marks, W. E. Mauldin: Response errors in surveys,Journal of the American Statistical Association, 46 (1951), 147–90, P. C.

摘要:

This paper deals with an empirical investigation of various stratified two-stage sampling systems for estimating totals of certain agricultural items of North Carolina. The 1940 Agricultural Census data were used for stratification, selection and estimation purposes. The observed data were the results of the 1945 Agricultural Census. Theory for the selection of n primary sampling units from a stratum with probability proportional to some measure of size but without replacement has already been developed by the senior author [11]. The principal contribution in this paper is the application of this theory to the selection of two primary sampling units without replacement from a stratum, where one of the units is selected with probability proportional to size and the other with equal probability. These results are compared with sampling systems (i) where both units are selected with probability proportional to size but with replacement and (ii) where an equal number of primary sampling units are selected but only one from each stratum.
