A New Estimator Based On Auxiliary Information Through Quantitative Randomized Response Techniques, Nilgün Özgül, Hülya Çıngı

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

An exponential-type estimator is developed for the population mean of the sensitive study variable based on various Randomized Response Techniques (RRT) using a non-sensitive auxiliary variable. The mean squared error (MSE) of the proposed estimator is derived for generalized RRT models. The proposed estimator is compared with competitors in a simulation study and an application. The proposed estimator is found to be more efficient using a non-sensitive auxiliary variable.

Effective Estimation Strategy Of Finite Population Variance Using Multi-Auxiliary Variables In Double Sampling, Reba Maji, G. N. Singh, Arnab Bandyopadhyay

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Estimation of population variance in two-phase (double) sampling is considered using information on multiple auxiliary variables. An unbiased estimator is proposed and its properties are studied under two different structures. The superiority of the suggested estimator over some contemporary estimators of population variance was established through empirical studies from a natural and an artificially generated dataset.
