A class of estimators of finite population variance (S_y^2) using auxiliary information has been proposed under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) scheme. An attempt has been made to derive the minimum variance unbiased estimator of finite population variance from the proposed...

If a sample is designated by a standard sampling strategy and if the character of the study satisfies a predetermined statement for an independent unit in the sample, then the items in the locality remain automatically in the sample. This type of method of selection of sampling units is called...

In this paper, we have described the development of an effective two-phase stratified random sampling estimation procedure in a scrambled response situation. Two different exponential, regression-type estimators were formed separately for different structures of two-phase stratified sampling...

Synthetic estimators are known to produce estimates of population mean in areas where no sampled data are available, but such estimates are usually highly biased with invalid confidence statements. This paper presents a calibrated synthetic estimator of the population mean which addresses these...

In this study, a new exponential ratio-regression estimator is developed using an aux- iliary variable for estimating the finite population mean under a two-phase sampling system. The Bias and Mean Square Error (MSE) of the proposed estimator are de- rived and compared with some of the...
