On Local Linear Regression Estimation in Sampling Surveys. Far East Journal of Theoretical Statistics0972-0863https://repository.daystar.ac.ke/handle/123456789/5149Journal ArticleA model based survey is employed to estimate the unknown values of the survey variable, using the local linear regression approach. In particular, a local linear regression estimator in model based surveys is studied. Variance comparisons are made between the derived estimator and the Nadaraya-Watson regression estimator which show that the two estimators are asymptotically equivalently efficientenSurveyVarianceLinear RegressionArticle
