Mohd. Vaseem Ismail, E. A. Khan, Manoj Kr. Sharma, Kaynat Naseer . A Note on Optimum Allocation with Non-Linear Cost Function. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 8, 2 ( January 2015), 44-46. DOI=10.5120/ijais15-451287
In this paper we consider the optimum allocation for multivariate sampling with non-linear cost function –travel cost. The problem of determining the optimum allocations are formulated as Nonlinear Programming Problems , in which each NLPP has a convex objective function and a non-linear cost constraint. The NLLP's are then solved using Lagrange Multiplier technique and the explicit formula for variance is obtained.
