Talk:Horvitz–Thompson estimator

The Article page claims:

Indented line For post-stratified study designs, estimation of

\pi

and

\mu

are done in distinct steps. In such cases, computating the variance of

{\hat {\mu }}_{HT}

is not straightforward. Resampling techniques such as the bootstrap or the jackknife can be applied to gain consistent estimates of the variance of the Horvitz–Thompson estimator^{[citation needed]}.

This matter is discussed in ^[1], Section 7.6, beginning on page 764, where both an approximate variance and a variance estimator are obtained.
