A General Jackknife within Each Stratum Variance Estimator

In survey sampling, accuracy of point estimates are assessed using variance estimates. Variance estimates becomes difficult when we have non-linear point estimators or complex sampling designs. The jackknife has been suggested as a useful cutoff resampling technique to overcome these difficulties. The approximation of sampling relative error for the total in stratified sampling without replacement from finite populations will be reviewed in this paper. And a general jackknife within each stratum estimator of Cao, R. et al (2013) is derived.
