摘要：Within the European Statistical System, national statistical institutes
are requested to publish quality reports. One important component of
these quality reports is dedicated to accuracy measurement. In addition to
non-sampling errors, sampling errors play an important role. The quantification
of accuracy measurement is mainly based on variance estimates of the
estimators of interest. In general, the latter have also to be estimated from the
samples.
This paper presents an overview of variance estimation methods including
their advantages and disadvantages. The evaluation of the methodology is
supported by two examples from Official Statistics.
