In this study, ratio estimators are proposed by utilizing some robust techniques to get the maximum benefit of the auxiliary variable for the estimation of the population mean in simple random sampling. The expressions for mean squared error are derived for the first degree of approximation. Theoretical comparisons demonstrate that the suggested estimators having robust regression estimates perform better than the existing estimators under certain conditions. Theoretical findings are supported with the aid of the original dataset in an application. In addition, a simulation study is also conducted to evaluate the performance of the suggested estimators.
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.
