Unequal probability sampling from a finite population: A multicriteria approach

Abstract

In this note we address the problem of determining selection probabilities for multipurpose surveys, when the aim is the simultaneous minimization of variances for each variable under study. A characterization of the set of Pareto-optimal designs is given for designs with replacement and also for a class of designs without replacement, namely, Poisson designs. As an application, we describe a problem encountered in Auditing, where both the fraction of misstatements, and the average amount of such misstatements are of interest.
