We prove that the standard nonparametric mean estimator for judgment post-stratification is inadmissible under squared error loss within a certain class of linear estimators. We derive alternate estimators that are admissible in this class, and we show that one of them is always better than the...

We consider the problem of estimating the variance of a population using judgment post-stratification. By conditioning on the observed vector of ordered in-stratum sample sizes, we develop a conditionally unbiased nonparametric estimator that outperforms the sample variance except when the...
