| Abstract: | The objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive survey of the proportion estimation methods so far found in the literature and a newly proposed method based on the concept of statistically equivalent blocks. All methods are restricted to the case of normal mixtures only. Graphical and semigraphical techniques are excluded. Several proportion estimation methods have been described and their properties discussed. |
