The 2-level rotation design based on 3 rotation groups is discussed in view of Monthly Retail Trade Survey conducted by the Bureau of Census in U.S., and composite estimators for population characteristics are concerned. The generalized composite estimators and the recursive composite estimators are presented at 2-level rotation design with design gap and variance formulas for the composite estimators are provided. Also under the response variability related with covariance structure and correlation structure from repeated response, relative efficiencies of the composite estimators are compared.
