In the present study, we propose the proficient class of estimators of the finite population mean, while incorporating the nonconventional location and nonconventional measures of dispersion with coefficient of variation of the auxiliary variable. Properties associated with the suggested class of improved estimators are derived, and an efficiency comparison with the usual unbiased ratio estimator and other existing estimators under consideration in the present study is established. An empirical study has also been provided to validate the theoretical results. Finally, it is established that the proposed class of estimators of the finite population variance proves to be more efficient than the existing estimators mentioned in this study.

This study introduces a new, better, class of ratio estimators for the estimation of population variance of the study variable by using the coefficient of quartile deviation of auxiliary variable. Bias and mean square error of the proposed class of estimators are also derived. The conditions of efficiency comparison are also obtained. Simulation and different secondary data sets are used to evaluate the efficiency of proposed class of variance estimators over existing class of estimators. The empirical study shows that the suggested class of estimators is more efficient the existing class of estimators for the population variance.

A class of ratio estimators of finite population variance is proposed in this study. The properties of the proposed estimators have been derived using Taylor’s Series method up to first order of approximation. The efficiency conditions which are the mean square errors (MSEs) and percentage relative efficiency (PRE) of the proposed estimators over existing estimators have been established. The analytical illustration was also conducted to affirm the theoretical results. The results of the empirical study revealed that the proposed estimators are more efficient than the existing estimators considered in the study.

The use of calibration estimation techniques in survey sampling have been found to improve the precision of estimators. This paper adopts the calibration approach with the assumption that the population median of the auxiliary variable is known to obtain a more efficient ratio-type estimator in estimating population median in stratified sampling. Conditions necessary for efficiency comparison have been obtained which show that the proposed estimator will always perform better than the existing asymptotically unbiased separate estimators in stratified random sampling. Numerical evaluations have been carried out through simulation and real-life data to compliment the theoretical claims. Results from the simulation study carried out under three distributional assumptions, namely the chi square, lognormal and Cauchy distributions with different sample settings showed that the new estimator provided better estimate of the median with greater gain in efficiency. In addition, result from the real-life data further supports the superiority of the proposed estimator over the existing ones considered in this study.

Researchers always appreciates estimators of finite population quantities, especially mean, with maximum efficiency for reaching to valid statistical inference.  Apart from ratio, product and regression estimators, exponential estimators are widely considered by survey statisticians. Motivated from the idea of exponential type estimators, in this article, we propose some new estimators utilizing known median of the study variable with mean of auxiliary variable. Theoretical properties of the suggested estimators are studied up to first order of approximation. In addition, an empirical and simulation study the comparison of median based proposed class of estimators with sample mean, ratio and linear regression estimators  are discussed. The results expose that the proposed estimators are more efficient than the existing estimators.

In this paper, a ratio-exponential-log type general class of estimators is proposed in estimating the finite population mean using two auxiliary variables when population parameters of the auxiliary variables are known. From the proposed estimator, some special estimators are identified as members of the proposed general class of estimators. The mean square error (MSE) expressions are obtained up to the first order of approximation. This study finds that the proposed general class of estimators outperforms as compared to the conventional mean estimator, usual ratio estimators, exponential-ratio estimators, log-ratio type estimators, and many other competitor regression type estimators. Four real-life applications are used for efficiency comparison.

Two Phase Sampling

In the present paper, we have proposed some improved estimators of the population mean utilizing the information on two auxiliary variables adopting the idea of two-phase sampling under non-response. In order to propose the estimators, we have assumed that the study variable and first auxiliary variable suffer from non-response while the second (additional) auxiliary variable is free from non-response. We have derived the expressions for biases and mean square errors of the proposed estimators and compared them with that of usual estimator and some well known existing estimators of the population mean. The theoretical results have also been illustrated with some empirical data.
