This article develops a method of ratio estimate in fuzzy sense. By both the simple random sampling and stratified random sampling, we can obtain the ratio estimate in usual statistical sense. However, the sampling data may be ambiguous in some uncertain circumstance. To solve such kind of problem, we probe into the simple random sampling and stratified random sampling in fuzzy sense, obtain th...

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 prop...

The development of spatial sampling theory has lead to the recognition of the importance of taking spatial dependency into account when sampling. This text uses the new Sandwich Spatial Sampling and Inference (SSSI) software as a tool to compare the relative error, coefficien...
