Estimating the population mean using a complex sampling design dependent on an auxiliary variable

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...

Improvement in estimating the population mean in simple random sampling using information on auxiliary attribute

This paper proposes some estimators for the population mean by adapting the estimator in Singh et al. (2008) [5] to the ratio estimators presented in Kadilar and Cingi 2006 [2]. We obtain mean square error (MSE) equation for all proposed estimators, and show that all proposed estimators are always more efficient than ratio estimator in Naik and Gupta (1996) [3], and Singh et al. (2008) [5]. The...

Improvement in Estimating Population Mean using Two Auxiliary Variables in Two-Phase Sampling

This study proposes improved chain-ratio type estimator for estimating population mean using some known values of population parameter(s) of the second auxiliary character. The proposed estimators have been compared with two-phase ratio estimator and some other chain ratio type estimators. The performances of the proposed estimators have been supported with a numerical illustration.
