Median Based Modified Ratio Estimators With Known Quartiles Of An Auxiliary Variable, Jambulingam Subramani, G Prabavathy
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
New median based modified ratio estimators for estimating a finite population mean using quartiles and functions of an auxiliary variable are proposed. The bias and mean squared error of the proposed estimators are obtained and the mean squared error of the proposed estimators are compared with the usual simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) sample mean, ratio estimator, a few existing modified ratio estimators, the linear regression estimator and median based ratio estimator for certain natural populations. A numerical study shows that the proposed estimators perform better than existing estimators; in addition, it is shown that the proposed median based …

Two Parameter Modified Ratio Estimators With Two Auxiliary Variables For Estimation Of Finite Population Mean With Known Skewness, Kurtosis And Correlation Coefficient, Jambulingam Subramani, G Prabavathy
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Consider the two parameter modified ratio estimators for the estimation of finite population mean using the skewness, kurtosis and correlation coefficient of two auxiliary variables. The efficiencies of the proposed modified ratio estimators are assessed with that of the simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) sample mean and some of the existing ratio estimators in terms of mean squared errors. The entire above is explained with the help of certain natural populations available in the literature.
