چکیده
This paper considers the problem of estimating the population mean using the ratio and product methods when some observations in the sam ple data are missing at random and the population mean of the auxiliary characteristic is not known Besides an unbiased estimator arising from the total discard of incomplete pairs of observations four generally biased estimators are presented The rst two estimators arise from the partial utilization of data while the remaining two are based on full utilization A comparative study of the e ciency properties of estimators is reported and the choice of estimators is discussed

Eecient Estimation of Population Mean Using Incomplete Survey Data on Study and Auxiliary Characteristics
This paper considers the problem of estimating the population mean using the ratio and product methods when some observations in the sample data are missing at random and the population mean of the auxiliary characteristic is not known. Besides an unbiased estimator arising from the total discard of incomplete pairs of observations, four generally biased estimators are presented. The rst two es...
متن کاملDesign Based Estimation of Finite Population Mean in Ranked Set Sampling
Abstract. This Article introduce method of ranked set sampling with replacement (RSSWR) in finite population and express how to computing samples of inclusion probability for this method. The Horvitz-Thompson and Hansen-Hurwtz estimators using auxiliary variables introduce for this design and use 2011-12 Urban Households Income and Income and Expenditure survey data, gathered for Tehran by stat...
متن کاملEffect of Measurement Errors on a Class of Estimators of Population Mean Using Auxiliary Information in Sample Surveys
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 کاملEstimating Distribution Functions from Survey Data Using Nonparametric Regression
Survey sampling often supplies information about a study variable only for sampled elements. However, auxiliary information is often available for the entire population. The relationship of the auxiliary information with the study variable across the sample allows inferences about the nonsampled portion of the population. Thus, auxiliary information can be used to improve upon survey estimation...
متن کاملMean estimation with calibration techniques in presence of missing data
The problem of estimating the population mean using calibration estimators when some observations on the study and auxiliary characteristics are missing from the sample, is considered. Some new classes of estimators are proposed for any sampling design. These new classes employ to all observation (incomplete cases too) in the estimation without using any imputation techniques. On the basis of p...
