Abstract

This work is concerned with expressions for the clustering component of the design effect in terms of parameters that are expected to affect the design effect in cluster sampling, for equal cluster sizes and unequal probability sampling (PPS). This involved investigating the pattern of design effect when such parameters change using factorial combination method. It is shown that the expressions for the design effect helped to reveal the impact on the design effect of clusters means, clusters variances, clusters homogeneity, sample stages, and sample sizes.
