Abstract

The problem of efficient stratification in the case of skewed population is considered. Four stratification methods are examined. A new adjusted geometric stratification method is introduced. This method is compared by simulation with the Dalenius-Hodges cumulative root frequency method, the geometric method proposed by Gunning and Horgan [2], and the power method offered by Plikusas in [6]. The simulation results show that in most cases considered the power method is the most efficient one.
