Enhancement of Exponential Ratio-Type and Product-Type Estimators in Two-Phase Sampling

N. Sahoo, S K Jhankar

Abstract



In this study, we have proposed an exponential ratio-type and product-type estimators to estimate the mean of study variable Y by incorporating auxiliary variable under two-phase sampling scheme. The expression of mean square error has been obtained up to the first order of approximation and an empirical study carried out to show the superiority of our proposed estimators. It is observed that the estimators considered by various authors and usual unbiased estimator are less efficient than our proposed estimators. For the theoretical support a simulation study is also carried out.

Keywords


Simple random sampling, mean square error, two-phase sampling and simulation study.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
