DEFINITION OF NUPTIALITYAccordi ng to the latest International Demographic Terminelogy (Grebeni k and ill, 1974), t he term 'nuptiality' is used to denote the whole subject of the formation and dissolutien of sexual uni ons, includi ng the study of marriage, consensual uni ons, separation, di vorce, widowhood etc. It is also used, in a narrower sense, as a synonym for marriage in such terms as nuptiality rates;and nuptiality probabilities, The study of nuptiality deals with the frequency of marriage, 1.e., unions between persons of opposite sexes which involve rights and obligations fixed by law and custom; with the characteriatics …

There are many important statistical problems of the following kind. The family of probability measures O is parametrized by a vector parame ter n varying in a q-dimen- sional domain. P can be represented as an exponential family of probability distributions with k canonical para- me ters where k is greater than q. The canonical parameters do not vary in a domain in R, but are restricted by polyno- mial or analytic equations. They vary on a curved surface defined by the polynomial or analytic equations within the natural parame ter space of the exponential family. The present work is …

The main problam of sampling from finite populations consi sts of devi sing an appropriate proceduro for sel ecting a sample from a given population and developing an appropriate procedure for estimating the population parameter of interest in order to maximize the precision of the estimator subject to certain restrictions on the cost for the survey or alternatively minimi ze the cost for achieving a given l evel of precision. During the thirties and forties several contributions were made to develop the theoretical background of sample survey techni ques in order to solve this problem, The most significant works of …
