Abstract

Let's consider a finite population of P units, each of them assumes a specific amount of the quantitative variable X. Moreover we assume that the range of values of X is subdivided into k classes and the sampling data come out from a two stage stratified sampling. The main purpose of the work is to determine the estimators, as well as their asymptotic distribution, of the partial means of classes, each of them is defined as a non linear function of the other parameters. Particularly, we are interested in determining the linear approximation estimators and, under convergence theorems, the asymptotic distribution. Afterwards we define the estimator of the vector of the partial means of classes and its asymptotic convergence to multivariate normal distribution is determined. These results are useful to develop simultaneous inferential procedures.
