摘要：A practical problem of estimating the total area under cultivation in Indian districts is addressed by two-stage sampling with unequal selection-probabilities. To assess the accuracy in estimation bootstrap technique is employed in constructing confidence intervals and simulation-based performance criteria are evaluated from live-data as are shown for competitive procedures. Rao-Hartley-Cochran's (RHC, 1962) scheme is employed in both stages of sampling. Sitter's mirrormatch bootstrap procedure is employed suitably modifying it to cover the two-stages.
