A Ratio-cum-Dual to Ratio Estimator of Population Variance Using Qualitative Auxiliary Information Under Simple Random Sampling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we have proposed a class of ratio-cum-dual to ratio estimators for estimating population variance of the variable under study, using known values of some population parameters of auxiliary variable, which is available in the form of an attribute. The expressions for the bias and mean squared error of the proposed estimators have been derived upto the first order of approximation. A comparison has been made with some well known estimators of population variance available in the literature when auxiliary information is in qualitative form. It has been shown that the proposed estimator is better than the existing estimators under the optimum condition. For illustration an empirical study has been carried out.

A New Difference-Cum-Exponential Type Estimator of Finite Population Mean in Simple Random Sampling
Auxiliary information is frequently used to improve the accuracy of the estimators when estimating the unknown population parameters. In this paper, we propose a new difference-cum-exponential type estimator for the finite population mean using auxiliary information in simple random sampling. The expressions for the bias and mean squared error of the proposed estimator are obtained under first ...

متن کاملModified Ratio cum Product Estimator for Estimation of Finite Population Mean with Known Correlation Coefficient
In sampling theory, a wide variety of techniques is used to obtain efficient estimators for the population mean. The commonly used method to obtain the estimator for population mean is simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) when there is no auxiliary variable available. There are methods that use the auxiliary information of the study characteristics. If there exists an auxiliary v...

The problem of estimating the population mean in un-stratified sampling strategies to estimate the finite the presence of an auxiliary variable has been widely discussed in finite population sampling literature [1], suggested a class of estimators of the population mean using one auxiliary variable in the stratified random sampling and examined the MSE of the estimators up to the kth order of a...
