Government agencies in a country need to conduct surveys on a regular basis, monthly, quarterly, or annually, to monitor the economy, business, or human resources and to assess the future national or regional needs. The frequency of a sample survey would depend upon its utility to the society, resources available to conduct the survey, and the amount of burden to the respondent. Most developed and developing countries have central statistical organizations or bureaus that are responsible for designing and conducting various surveys periodically and for developing official statistics. These periodic surveys may employ independent sets of sample units. Most often, however, panel surveys are undertaken in which the sample units are fixed over a certain period of time or partially replaced or rotated out during each survey period. We shall consider the case of rotation sample design where a subset of the sample units is replaced each survey period as compared to having a completely independent sample each time or an entirely fixed set of sample units repeated across all time periods. The panel surveys where panel units are repeated after a specified period are also covered by the approach taken here. This consideration is motivated by our realization that changes in a population characteristic value are expected to take place over time yet some consistency in the sample unit response for the characteristic would persist. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0913.00046].
