Estimating the Mean of a Finite Population

Modified Sampling Strategies Using Correlation Coefficient for Estimating Population Mean

This paper proposes two sampling strategies based on the modified ratio estimator using the population mean of auxiliary variable and population correlation coefficient between the study variable and the auxiliary variable by Singh and Tailor (2003) for estimating the population mean (total) of the study variable in a finite population. A comparative study is made with usual sampling strategies...

On Presentation a new Estimator for Estimating of Population Mean in the Presence of Measurement error and non-Response

Introduction According to the classic sampling theory, errors that are mainly considered in the estimations are sampling errors.  However, most non-sampling errors are more effective than sampling errors in properties of estimators. This has been confirmed by researchers over the past two decades, especially in relation to non-response errors that are one of the most fundamental non-immolation...

Estimating a Bounded Normal Mean Under the LINEX Loss Function

Let X be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. In many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. As the usual estimator of θ, i.e., X under the LINEX loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for X becomes worthwhile. The only study in the literature considered the problem of min...

Improvement in Estimating the Finite Population Mean Under Maximum and Minimum Values in Double Sampling Scheme

This research article, presents a ratio estimator for the estimation of finite population mean of the study variable under double sampling scheme when there is unusually low and unusually high values and analyzes their properties. The expressions for bias and MSE of the proposed estimator are derived up to first order of approximation. Also efficiency conditions are carried out with the other e...
