A generalized class of difference type estimators for population median in survey sampling
نویسنده
چکیده
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 estimator, usual difference estimator, Rao [10] estimator and other difference type estimators.

On the Simple Inverse Sampling with Replacement
In this paper we derive some unbiased estimators of the population mean under simple inverse sampling with replacement, using the class of Hansen-Hurwitz and Horvitz-Thompson type estimators and the post-stratification approach. We also compare the efficiency of resulting estimators together with Murthy's estimator. We show that in despite of general belief, the strategy consisting of inverse s...
متن کاملA Class of Estimators for Population Median in Two Occasion Rotation Sampling
The present work deals with the problem of estimation of finite population median at current occasion, in two occasion successive (rotation) sampling. A class of estimators has been proposed for the estimation of population median at current occasion, which includes many existing estimators as a particular case. Asymptotic properties including the asymptotic convergence of proposed class of est...

This paper considers the problem of estimating the population mean Ybar of the study variate Y using information on different parameters such as population mean $(bar{X})$, coefficient of variation $(C_x)$, kurtosis $beta_{2(x)}$, standard deviation $(S_x)$ of the auxiliary variate x and on the correlation coefficient, $rho$, between the study variate $Y$ and the auxiliary variate $...
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 کاملOn Bivariate Generalized Exponential-Power Series Class of Distributions
In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate distributions by compounding the bivariate generalized exponential and power-series distributions. This new class contains the bivariate generalized exponential-Poisson, bivariate generalized exponential-logarithmic, bivariate generalized exponential-binomial and bivariate generalized exponential-negative binomial distributions as specia...
