The use of auxiliary information in dual frame estimation

In this paper we propose extending the dual frame estimators proposed by Hartley (1962) and Mecatti (2007) to incorporate auxiliary information. Techniques known to be efficient in incorporating auxiliary information in the estimation procedure are used. These techniques are namely the generalised regression and calibration. The resulting dual frame estimators and their variances are discussed in this paper.
