An Application of Balanced Repeated Replication (BRR) Variance Estimation to Program Evaluation.

Cavin, Edward S.; Ohls, James C.

Evaluation Review, v14 n2 p206-13 Apr 1990

A technique to estimate variances of weighted estimates in program evaluation is discussed. BRR estimates of variance are constructed from orthogonally weighted subsamples and can provide better estimates from complex samples than can other methods. Use of BRR is illustrated in a government evaluation of a food service program. (SLD)
