The use of multi-auxiliary variables helps in increasing the precision of the estimators, especially when the population is rare and hidden clustered. In this article, four ratio-cum-product type estimators have been proposed using two auxiliary variables under adaptive cluster sampling (ACS) design. The expressions of the mean square error (MSE) of the proposed ratio-cum-product type estimators have been derived up to the first order of approximation and presented along with their efficiency conditions with respect to the estimators presented in this article. The efficiency of the proposed estimators over similar existing estimators have been assessed on four different populations two of which are of the daily spread of COVID-19 cases. The proposed estimators performed better than the estimators presented in this article on all four populations indicating their wide applicability and precision.
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.
