Improved Exponential Estimator in Stratified Random Sampling

چکیده
In this article we have considered the problem of estimating the population mean Y in the stratified random sampling using the information of an auxiliary variable x which is correlated with y and suggested improved exponential ratio estimators in the stratified random sampling. The mean square error (MSE) equations for the proposed estimators have been derived and it is shown that the proposed estimators under optimum condition performs better than estimators suggested by Singh et al. (2008). Theoretical and empirical findings are encouraging and support the soundness of the proposed estimators for mean estimation.

A New Exponential Type Estimator for the Population Mean in Simple Random Sampling
In this paper, a new estimate of exponential type of auxiliary information to help simple random sampling without replacement of the finite population mean is introduced. This new estimator with a few other estimates using two real data sets are compared with the mean square error.
متن کاملA generalized class of difference type estimators for population median in survey sampling
In this paper, we propose a generalized class of difference type estimators of finite population median in simple and stratified random sampling. The expressions for bias and mean square error are derived up to first order of approximation. Numerical comparisons reveal that the proposed class of estimators performs better than the unbiased sample median estimator, ratio estimator, exponential e...
متن کاملWhich are better, random or systematic acoustic surveys? A simulation using North Sea herring as an example
This paper considers the design of acoustic surveys for estimating the mean abundance of spatially correlated populations. We examined how the choice of survey design affects the bias and precision of the sample mean as an estimator of mean abundance. Further, we investigated three different ways of estimating the error variance of the sample mean: the pooled within strata variance and two geos...
متن کاملStratified Median Ranked Set Sampling: Optimum and Proportional Allocations
In this paper, for the Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling (SMRSS), proposed by Ibrahim et al. (2010), we examine the proportional and optimum sample allocations that are two well-known methods for sample allocation in stratified sampling. We show that the variances of the mean estimators of a symmetric population in SMRSS using optimum and proportional allocations to strata are smaller than ...
متن کاملDual to Ratio cum Product Estimators of Finite Population Mean Using Auxiliary Attribute(s) in Stratified Random Sampling
The problem of estimating the population mean in un-stratified sampling strategies to estimate the finite the presence of an auxiliary variable has been widely discussed in finite population sampling literature [1], suggested a class of estimators of the population mean using one auxiliary variable in the stratified random sampling and examined the MSE of the estimators up to the kth order of a...
