Abstract
A method allows estimation of selected parameters of a given population based on non-homogenous sampling of the population data. In the method, an algorithm is applied to data in a 'least parts' approach, to facilitate the assumption that sampling of data is 'piece-wise' homogenous, when it is known that overall, the data sampling is not homogeneous.
