Abstract: | Summary The classical allocation formula of Neyman is replaced by a new formula which can accommodate prior information on the ratio
of means in two strata. To accomplish this, a Bayesian approach is adopted and in this context partial prior information is
quantified over the spectrum from absolute certainty to completely unknown. |
