An Improved Generalized Estimation Procedure Of Current Population Mean In Two-Occasion Successive Sampling, G. N. Singh, Alok Kumar Singh, Anup Kumar Sharma Nov 2016

An Improved Generalized Estimation Procedure Of Current Population Mean In Two-Occasion Successive Sampling, G. N. Singh, Alok Kumar Singh, Anup Kumar Sharma

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The present work is an attempt to make use of several auxiliary variables on both occasions for improving the precision of estimates for the current population mean in two-occasion successive sampling. A generalized exponential-cum-regression type estimator of the current population mean is proposed and its optimum replacement strategy has been discussed. Empirical studies are carried out to show the dominance of the proposed estimation procedure over the sample mean estimator and natural successive sampling estimator. Empirical results have been interpreted and suitable recommendations are put forward to survey practitioners.


A New Exponential Type Estimator For The Population Mean In Simple Random Sampling, Gamze Özel Kadilar Nov 2016

A New Exponential Type Estimator For The Population Mean In Simple Random Sampling, Gamze Özel Kadilar

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

This paper provides a new exponential type estimator in simple random sampling for population mean. It is shown that proposed exponential type estimator is always more efficient than estimators considered by Bahl and Tuteja (1991) and Singh, Chauhan, Sawan, and Smarandache (2009). From numerical examples it is also observed that proposed modified ratio estimator performs better than existing estimators.


Almost Unbiased Estimator Using Known Value Of Population Parameter(S) In Sample Surveys, Rajesh Singh, S.B. Gupta, Sachin Malik May 2016

Almost Unbiased Estimator Using Known Value Of Population Parameter(S) In Sample Surveys, Rajesh Singh, S.B. Gupta, Sachin Malik

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

An almost unbiased estimator using known value of some population parameter(s) is proposed. A class of estimators is defined which includes Singh and Solanki (2012) and Sahai and Ray (1980), Sisodiya and Dwivedi (1981), Singh, Cauhan, Sawan, and Smarandache (2007), Upadhyaya and Singh (1984), Singh and Tailor (2003) estimators. Under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) scheme the expressions for bias and mean square error (MSE) are derived. Numerical illustrations are given.
