Several indices of entropy have been suggested in the literature as weighted diversity measures of a population with respect to a classification process. Among them, Shannon's entropy and Havrda -Charvat's non-additive entropies of order a, have been exhaustively used. When the population is finite but too large to be censused, the diversity with respect to a given classification process must be estimated from a sample. In this note, on the basis of an asymptotic study of the sample indices in the stratified random sampling, we are going to confirm that when we deal with large samples one can guarantee a gain in precision from stratified random over simple random sampling. This gain becomes considerable when the 'inaccuracy" (as intended by Kerridge and Rathie and Kannapan) between the frequency vector in each stratum and that in the whole population, varies greatly from stratum to stratum. |
