Population Mean Estimation With Sub Sampling The Non-Respondents Using Two Phase Sampling, Sunil Kumar, M Viswanathaiah May 2014

Population Mean Estimation With Sub Sampling The Non-Respondents Using Two Phase Sampling, Sunil Kumar, M Viswanathaiah

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The problem of non-response in double (or two phase) sampling is dealt with combined ratio, product and regression estimators. Expressions of bias and MSE for these estimators are obtained. Comparisons of a proposed strategy with a usual unbiased estimator and other estimators are carried out and results obtained are illustrated numerically using an empirical sample.


Separate Ratio-Type Estimators Of Population Mean In Stratified Random Sampling, Rajesh Tailor, Hilal A. Lone May 2014

Separate Ratio-Type Estimators Of Population Mean In Stratified Random Sampling, Rajesh Tailor, Hilal A. Lone

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Separate ratio-type estimators for population mean with their properties are considered. Some separate ratio-type estimators for population mean using known parameters of auxiliary variate are proposed. The bias and mean squared error of the proposed estimators are obtained up to the first degree of approximation. It is shown that the proposed estimators are more efficient than unbiased estimators in stratified random sampling and usual separate ratio estimators under certain obtained conditions. To judge the merits of the proposed estimators, an empirical study was conducted.
