Abstract

SUMMARY The empirical likelihood method under stratified random sampling is used for making inferences on finite population parameters. Our results show that it can lead to efficient estimators by making effective use of auxiliary population information in the form of overall population totals or means ascertained from external sources. Empirical likelihood ratio confidence intervals for the population mean are also studied, and adjusted intervals with asymptotically correct coverage rates are obtained.
