Modified Ratio And Product Estimators For Population Mean In Systematic Sampling, Housila P. Singh, Rajesh Tailor, Narendra Kumar Jatwa

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The estimation of population mean in systematic sampling is explored. Properties of a ratio and product estimator that have been suggested in systematic sampling are investigated, along with the properties of double sampling. Following Swain (1964), the cost aspect is also discussed.

Improved Estimation Of The Population Mean Using Known Parameters Of An Auxiliary Variable, Rajesh Tailor, Balkishan Sharma

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

An improved ratio-cum-product type estimator of the finite population mean is proposed using known information on the coefficient of variation of an auxiliary variate and correlation coefficient between a study variate and an auxiliary variate. Realistic conditions are obtained under which the proposed estimator is more efficient than the simple mean estimator, usual ratio and product estimators and estimators proposed by Singh and Diwivedi (1981), Pandey and Dubey (1988), Upadhaya and Singh (1999), and Singh, et al., (2004). An empirical study supports theoretical findings.
