This article is an attempt to explore some effective rotation patterns in estimation of current population mean in two occasions successive sampling. Utilizing the readily available information on an auxiliary variable on both occasions and the information on study variable from the previous occasion, some efficient estimation procedures have been suggested. Optimum replacement strategies and the efficiencies of the proposed estimators have been discussed. Empirical studies are carried out and suitable recommendations are made.
This paper considers the problem of estimation of the population mean of the study character under ratio method of imputation when some observations in the sample data are missing at random and the information on an auxiliary variable is readily available on both the occasions in two-occasion successive sampling.Estimator for the population mean on the second (current) has been proposed and the expressions of bias and mean square error are derived. Special cases and optimum replacement policies are discussed. Empirical studies are carried out and recommendations are made.
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.
