Conversion of Tertiary Objective Stratified Sampling Design into Fractional Goal Programming

Abstract

The aim of this article is to determine an optimal allocation of sample sizes in Stratified Sampling design, when a tertiary objective Stratified Sampling design is converted into bi-objective fractional goal programming. When a non-integer solution is obtained after solving the bi-objective fractional goal programming through LINGO then Branch and Bound method provides an integer solution.
