Family of Estimators for Population Variance using Two Auxiliary Information

A Family of Estimators of Population Mean Using Information on Two Auxiliary Attribute

Submitted: May 23, 2013; Accepted: Jul 3, 2013; Published: Jul 19, 2013 Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of estimating the finite population mean when some information on two auxiliary attributes are available. It is shown that the proposed estimator is more efficient than the usual mean estimator and other existing estimators. The study is also extended to two-phase sampling. The re...

Improved Exponential Estimator for Population Variance Using Two Auxiliary Variables

In this paper exponential ratio and exponential product type estimators using two auxiliary variables are proposed for estimating unknown population variance y S . Problem is extended to the case of two-phase sampling. Theoretical results are supported by an empirical study.

Some estimators for a finite population mean under two-stage sampling using multivariate auxiliary information

In this paper, we have derived difference, regression and predictor estimators for two-stage sampling with unequal first-stage units using multivariate auxiliary information. The mean square error of these estimators have been derived. A numerical illustration is given for finding the relative comparisons. 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Effect 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...
