Popis: We study orthogonal decomposition of symmetric statistics based on samples drawn without replacement from finite populations. Several applications to finite population statistics are given: we establish one-term Edge-worth expansions for general asymptotically normal symmetric statistics, prove an Efron-Stein inequality and the consistency of the jackknife estimator of variance. Our expansions provide second order a.s. approximations to Wu's jackknife histogram.
