Auxiliary Information and a Priori Values in Construction of Improved Estimators

چکیده
Some ratio estimators for estimating the population mean of the variable under study, which make use of information regarding the population proportion possessing certain attribute, are proposed. Under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) scheme, the expressions of bias and mean-squared error (MSE) up to the first order of approximation are derived. The results obtained have been illustrated numerically by taking some empirical population considered in the literature. AMS Classification: 62D05.

Comparison of Small Area Estimation Methods for Estimating Unemployment Rate
Extended Abstract. In recent years, needs for small area estimations have been greatly increased for large surveys particularly household surveys in Sta­ tistical Centre of Iran (SCI), because of the costs and respondent burden. The lack of suitable auxiliary variables between two decennial housing and popula­ tion census is a challenge for SCI in using these methods. In general, the...
متن کاملEffect 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...

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 کاملPositive-Shrinkage and Pretest Estimation in Multiple Regression: A Monte Carlo Study with Applications
Consider a problem of predicting a response variable using a set of covariates in a linear regression model. If it is a priori known or suspected that a subset of the covariates do not significantly contribute to the overall fit of the model, a restricted model that excludes these covariates, may be sufficient. If, on the other hand, the subset provides useful information, shrinkage meth...
متن کاملGeneralized Family of Estimators for Imputing Scrambled Responses
When there is a high correlation between the study and the auxiliary variables, the rank of the auxiliary variable also correlates with the study variable. Then, the use of the rank as an additional auxiliary variable may be helpful to increase the efficiency of the estimator of the mean or total of the population. In the present study, we propose two generalized familie...
