Descripción
This note summarizes much of the theory behind the use of the Delete-a-
Group (DAG) jackknife with calibrated survey data like that coming from
the third phase of the Agricultural Resources and Management Survey
(ARMS III). A DAG jackknife employing 15 sets of replicate weights is
used for variance estimation with ARMS-III data. Many analyses of this
data are conducted by the Economics Research Service and by other
agricultural economists outside of the US Department of Agriculture,
making a portable variance-estimation technique like the DAG jackknife
especially desirable. Some suggestions are offered to improve the
present methodology.
