Non-parametric calibration estimation of distribution function under stratified random sampling by Abdullah Mohammed Alomair, Weineng Zhu, Usman Shahzad, Fawaz Khaled Alarfaj

“…By leveraging auxiliary information under a stratified random sampling (StRS) framework, the proposed methodology employs multiple calibration constraints with a chi-square distance measure to derive calibrated weights, enhancing estimation efficiency. The estimators incorporate key descriptive measures of auxiliary variable, including the CDF and coefficient of variation, and tackle the challenge of bandwidth selection using advanced techniques such as plug-in selectors and cross-validation approaches. …”
