Some Exponential Type Predictive Estimators of Finite Population Mean in Two-Phase Sampling

Abstract

This study is designed for predictive estimation of finite population mean in two phase sampling using two auxiliary variables. Two phase exponential ratio type estimator and exponential chain ratio type estimator are proposed under predictive approach suggested by Bahl & Tuteja (1991). The expressions of bias and mean square error of both suggested estimators have been carried out for theoretical comparison. The numerical study on real life data sets as well as simulation study has been conducted to examine the performance of suggested estimators. Finally, it is demonstrated that the suggested exponential ratio estimators are more efficient than competitive estimators in support of numerical and simulation study as well.

An Improved Class of Mixed Estimators of Population Mean under Double Sampling

“…(9) suggested "an improved estimator of population mean in stratified double sampling using two-auxiliary variables". (10) proposed "a predictive estimator of finite population mean in two phase sampling using two auxiliary variables". (11) suggested "a new family of exponential estimators in the two-phase sampling using the information of an auxiliary attribute".…”
