Abstract
We provide a method for finding the optimal double sampling plan for estimating the mean value of a continuous outcome. It is assumed that the fallible and true outcome data are related by a simple linear regression model. The design parameters are the total sample size, N, and the number of doubly sampled units n. We show that under certain conditions the efficiency gains, relative to standard sampling plans are considerable.
