In this study, two-phase sampling is considered for estimating the population variance of study variable taking two auxiliary variables. The proposed generalized estimator and class of estimators are the exponential function of auxiliary variables. The mean square errors and biases equations have been obtained for the proposed estimators. The conditions for which proposed estimators are more efficient as compared to other estimators have been discussed. The empirical study showed that proposed estimators are more efficient as compared to the unbiased sample variance estimator, double sampling version of Isaki (J Am Stat
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
