Estimation of the size and mean value of a stigmatized characteristic of a Hidden gang in a finite population: A unified approach

We consider the problem of estimating the size and the mean value of a stigmatized quantitative characteristic of a sub-group (or hidden gang) in a finite population using a unified approach. The proposed method may be useful in estimating the proportion and the mean income of terrorists, "hija...

Zusammenfassung:	We consider the problem of estimating the size and the mean value of a stigmatized quantitative characteristic of a sub-group (or hidden gang) in a finite population using a unified approach. The proposed method may be useful in estimating the proportion and the mean income of terrorists, "hijackers" or "freedom fighters" of a particular country, including those who operate across different countries.
