A Generalized Class Of Estimators For Finite Population Variance In Presence Of Measurement Errors, Prayas Sharma, Rajesh Singh

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The problem of estimating the population variance is presented using auxiliary information in the presence of measurement errors. The estimators in this article use auxiliary information to improve efficiency and assume that measurement error is present both in study and auxiliary variable. A numerical study is carried out to compare the performance of the proposed estimator with other estimators and the variance per unit estimator in the presence of measurement errors.
