Post-stratified Probability-Proportional-to-Size Sampling from Stratified Populations
This paper develops statistical inference based on a post-stratified probability-proportional-to-size (pp) sample from a finite population. A pp sample selects the sample units with selection probabilities proportional to their size and measures them for the characteristic of interest. For each measured unit, the pp sample further creates position information (rank) in a comparison set of size M. The sample is then post-stratified into ranking classes based on their position information in the comparison set. A pp sample is expanded to stratified populations by selecting a pp sample from each stratum population to form the stratified pp sample. Using this stratified pp sample, we construct unbiased and Rao-Blackwell estimators for the mean of the stratified populations. Different sample size allocation procedures for stratum sample sizes are investigated. The new sampling design is applied to apple production data to estimate the total apple production in Turkey.

The extraordinary story of the apple
\"Favoured throughout human history, the extraordinary story of the apple began in China where native bears were key to the fruit's dispersal. Easily transported and virtually immune to pests and the cold when dried they became more widespread and eventually started to move along the trade routes, assisted by the apple-loving horses on the Silk Road. Using DNA evidence, authors Barrie E. Juniper and David J. Mabberley trace the fruit's journey through time and across continents. They cover all aspects of the natural and cultural history of the apple, from key moments in human history, including the ancient Egyptians, Romans, to the Barrle of Hastings and Newton's Law of Gravity. Chapters also cover types of apple and apple crops, grafting techniques over time, archaeological discoveries, use as a food and in cider making, as well as the latest research in apple biology\"--Back cover.
