Abstract

Kim (1985) proposed the so-called "centered balanced systematic sampling" for estimating the mean of a population with a linear trend. In this paper, a version of this sampling method is proposed. It is shown that this version is as efficient as the original method from the viewpoint of the expected mean square error criterion. It is also shown to be quite an efficient method as compared with other existing methods.g methods.
