In this paper, we develop a general theory of truncated inverse binomial sampling. In this theory, the fixed-size sampling and inverse binomial sampling are accommodated as special cases. In particular, the classical Chernoff-Hoeffding bound is an immediate consequence of the theory. Moreover, we propose a rigorous and efficient method for probability estimation, which is an adaptive Monte Carlo estimation method based on truncated inverse binomial sampling. Our proposed method of probability estimation can be orders of magnitude more efficient as compared to existing methods in literature and widely used software.

We prove that any implementation of pivotal sampling is more efficient than multinomial sampling. This property entails the weak consistency of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator and the existence of a conservative variance estimator. A small simulation study supports our findings.
We prove that if $pgeq 1$ and $-1leq rleq p-1$ then the binomial sequence $binom{np+r}{n}$, $n=0,1,...$, is positive definite and is the moment sequence of a probability measure $ u(p,r)$, whose support is contained in $left[0,p^p(p-1)^{1-p}right]$. If $p>1$ is a rational number and $-1<rleq p-1$ then $ u(p,r)$ is absolutely continuous and its density function $V_{p,r}$ can be expressed in terms of the Meijer $G$-function. In particular cases $V_{p,r}$ is an elementary function. We show that for $p>1$ the measures $ u(p,-1)$ and $ u(p,0)$ are certain free convolution powers of the Bernoulli distribution. Finally we prove that the binomial sequence $binom{np+r}{n}$ is positive definite if and only if either $pgeq 1$, $-1leq rleq p-1$ or $pleq 0$, $p-1leq r leq 0$. The measures corresponding to the latter case are reflections of the former ones.

In this paper, we have developed a new class of sampling schemes for estimating parameters of binomial and Poisson distributions. Without any information of the unknown parameters, our sampling schemes rigorously guarantee prescribed levels of precision and confidence.

We first review existing sequential methods for estimating a binomial proportion. Afterward, we propose a new family of group sequential sampling schemes for estimating a binomial proportion with prescribed margin of error and confidence level. In pa rticular, we establish the uniform controllability of coverage probability and the asymptotic optimality for such a family of sampling schemes. Our theoretical results establish the possibility that the parameters of this family of sampling schemes can be determined so that the prescribed level of confidence is guaranteed with little waste of samples. Analytic bounds for the cumulative distribution functions and expectations of sample numbers are derived. Moreover, we discuss the inherent connection of various sampling schemes. Numerical issues are addressed for improving the accuracy and efficiency of computation. Computational experiments are conducted for comparing sampling schemes. Illustrative examples are given for applications in clinical trials.
The cross-classified sampling design consists in drawing samples from a two-dimension population, independently in each dimension. Such design is commonly used in consumer price index surveys and has been recently applied to draw a sample of babies i n the French ELFE survey, by crossing a sample of maternity units and a sample of days. We propose to derive a general theory of estimation for this sampling design. We consider the Horvitz-Thompson estimator for a total, and show that the cross-classified design will usually result in a loss of efficiency as compared to the widespread two-stage design. We obtain the asymptotic distribution of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator, and several unbiased variance estimators. Facing the problem of possibly negative values, we propose simplified non-negative variance estimators and study their bias under a super-population model. The proposed estimators are compared for totals and ratios on simulated data. An application on real data from the ELFE survey is also presented, and we make some recommendations. Supplementary materials are available online.
