Each estimation method is based on finding parameter estimates that minimize a badness-of-fit function that measures the difference between the observed sample covariance matrix and the predicted ...

The SURVEYMEANS procedure uses the Taylor expansion method to estimate sampling errors of estimators based on complex sample designs. This method obtains a linear approximation for the estimator and ...
