In this study, we systemize the theoretical validity for applying unrelated question model to three-stage cluster sampling method and derive the estimate and it's variance of sensitive parameter. We derive the minimum variance form under the optimal values of the subsample sizes when the cost are fixed. Under the some given precision, we obtain the optimal values of the subsample sizes and derive the minimum cost form by using them.
