The problem of determining the optimum strata boundaries, when the main study variable is used as stratification variable and a stratified sample, using Neyman allocation (for a fixed total sample size) is to be selected to estimate the population mean ( or total ), is formulated as a mathematical programing problem (MPP). It has been shown that with some modification this MPP may be converted into a multi stage decision problem that could be solved using dynamic programming technique. Two numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the computational details.
