When data is collected via sample survey it is assumed whatever is reported by a respondent is correct. However, given the issues of prestige bias, personal respect and honor, respondents’ self-reported data often produces over- or under- estimated values as opposed to true values regarding the variables under question. This causes measurement error to be present in sample values. This article considers the factortype estimator as an estimation tool and examines its performance under a measurement error model. Expressions of optimization are derived and theoretical results are supported by numerical examples.
Ratio Type Estimator Of Ratio Of Two Population Means In Stratified Random Sampling, Rajesh Tailor, Sunil Chouhan
Ratio Type Estimator Of Ratio Of Two Population Means In Stratified Random Sampling, Rajesh Tailor, Sunil Chouhan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A ratio estimator is proposed for the ratio of two population means using auxiliary information in stratified random sampling. Bias and mean squared error expressions are obtained under large sample approximation, and the proposed estimator is compared both theoretically and empirically with the conventional estimator of ratio for two population means in stratified random sampling.
