Abstract

This article is concerned with the intraclass correlation in survey sampling. From a design-based viewpoint the intraclass correlation is generalized to a finite population with unequal sized clusters. Under simple random cluster sampling the intraclass correlation is given in an explicit form, which is a generalization of the usual one. The range of it is found and the design effect is expressed by means of it. An example is given to compare the intraclass correlation with the homogeneity measure numerically, which shows that two measures are not the same except some limited cases.
