A Class of Ratio Estimators of a Finite Population Mean Using Two Auxiliary Variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
In sample surveys, it is usual to increase the efficiency of the estimators by the use of the auxiliary information. We propose a class of ratio estimators of a finite population mean using two auxiliary variables and obtain mean square error (MSE) equations for the class of proposed estimators. We find theoretical conditions that make proposed family estimators more efficient than the traditional ratio estimator and the estimators proposed by Abu-Dayeh et al. using two auxiliary variables. In addition, we support these theoretical results with the aid of a numerical example.

A Study on the Class of Chain Ratio–type Estimators
This paper considers the problem of estimating the population mean Ybar of the study variate Y using information on different parameters such as population mean $(bar{X})$, coefficient of variation $(C_x)$, kurtosis $beta_{2(x)}$, standard deviation $(S_x)$ of the auxiliary variate x and on the correlation coefficient, $rho$, between the study variate $Y$ and the auxiliary variate $...

We consider the problem of estimation the population mean of the study variate Y in presence of measurement errors when information on an auxiliary character X is known. A class of estimators for population means using information on an auxiliary variate X is defined. Expressions for its asymptotic bias and mean square error are obtained. Optimum conditions are obtained for which the mean...

متن کاملEfficient Use of Auxiliary Variables in Estimating Finite Population Variance in Two Phase Sampling
This paper presents some chain ratio-type estimators for estimating finite population variance using two auxiliary variables in two phase sampling set up. The expressions for biases and mean squared errors of the suggested classes of estimators are given. Asymptotic optimum estimators (AOE’s) in each class are identified with their approximate mean squared error formulae. The theoretical and em...
