چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of estimation of population mean in two-phase sampling. A ratio-product estimator of population mean using known coefficient of kurtosis of two auxiliary variates has been proposed. In fact, it is a two-phase sampling version of Tailor et al. (2010) estimator and its properties are studied. Proposed estimator has been compared with usual unbiased estimator, classical ratio and product estimator in two-phase sampling, and two-phase sampling versions of Singh (1967) and Singh et al. (2004) estimators respectively. To judge the merits of the proposed estimator over other estimators an empirical study is also carried out.

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...
متن کاملModified Ratio cum Product Estimator for Estimation of Finite Population Mean with Known Correlation Coefficient
In sampling theory, a wide variety of techniques is used to obtain efficient estimators for the population mean. The commonly used method to obtain the estimator for population mean is simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) when there is no auxiliary variable available. There are methods that use the auxiliary information of the study characteristics. If there exists an auxiliary v...

Auxiliary information is frequently used to improve the accuracy of the estimators when estimating the unknown population parameters. In this paper, we propose a new difference-cum-exponential type estimator for the finite population mean using auxiliary information in simple random sampling. The expressions for the bias and mean squared error of the proposed estimator are obtained under first ...

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...
متن کاملGeneral Families of Chain Ratio Type Estimators of the Population Mean with Known Coefficient of Variation of the Second Auxiliary Variable in Two Phase Sampling
In this paper we have suggested a family of chain estimators of the population mean Ȳ of a study variate y using two auxiliary variates in two phase (double) sampling assuming that the coefficient of variation of the second auxiliary variable is known. It is well known that chain estimators are traditionally formulated when the population mean X̄1 of one of the two auxiliary variables, say x1, i...
