Description Readers' comments

Center Sampling is a recent Italian proposal useful in surveying elusive finite populations such as, for instance, legal and illegal immigrants. Several analogies between Center Sampling and Multiple Frame surveys are appreciable. Two estimators for the total rising from Center Sampling setup are adapted and inserted into the Dual Frame context. The proposed estimators are compared with the majors Dual Frame competitors with respect to inferential properties and operative performances. Simulation results are also provided.

Keywords: Elusive Finite Population, Overlapping Frames, Multiple Frame survey, Simulations.
