Almost Unbiased Estimator Using Known Value of Population Parameter(s) in Sample Surveys
نویسندگان
چکیده
An almost unbiased estimator using known value of some population parameter(s) is proposed. Under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) scheme the expressions for bias and mean square error (MSE) are derived. Numerical illustrations are given.

Classic and Bayes Shrinkage Estimation in Rayleigh Distribution Using a Point Guess Based on Censored Data
Introduction In classical methods of statistics, the parameter of interest is estimated based on a random sample using natural estimators such as maximum likelihood or unbiased estimators (sample information). In practice, the researcher has a prior information about the parameter in the form of a point guess value. Information in the guess value is called as nonsample information. Thomp...
متن کاملOn Concomitants of Order Statistics from Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern Bivariate Lomax Distribution and its Application in Estimation
‎In this paper‎, ‎we have dealt with the distribution theory of concomitants of order statistics arising from Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern bivariate Lomax distribution‎. ‎We have discussed the estimation of the parameters associated with the distribution of the variable Y of primary interest‎, ‎based on the ranked set sample defined by ordering the marginal observations...
متن کاملComparison of Small Area Estimation Methods for Estimating Unemployment Rate
Extended Abstract. In recent years, needs for small area estimations have been greatly increased for large surveys particularly household surveys in Sta­ tistical Centre of Iran (SCI), because of the costs and respondent burden. The lack of suitable auxiliary variables between two decennial housing and popula­ tion census is a challenge for SCI in using these methods. In general, the...
متن کاملHorvitz-Thompson estimator of population mean under inverse sampling designs
Inverse sampling design is generally considered to be appropriate technique when the population is divided into two subpopulations, one of which contains only few units. In this paper, we derive the Horvitz-Thompson estimator for the population mean under inverse sampling designs, where subpopulation sizes are known. We then introduce an alternative unbiased estimator, corresponding to post-st...
متن کاملAn (almost) unbiased estimator for the S-Gini index∗
This note provides an unbiased estimator for the absolute S-Gini and an almost unbiased estimator for the relative S-Gini for integer parameter values. Simulations indicate that these estimators perform considerably better then the usual estimators, especially for small sample sizes. 1 The absolute and relative S-gini indices Assume that income is distributed according to a continuous and diffe...
