Improved Estimators of Finite Population Variance in Double Sampling

N. Koyuncu

Abstract



In this article we have suggested a class of exponential type estimators for estimating population variance of a study variable using information of auxiliary variable under double sampling scheme. The bias and mean square error of the estimators belonging to proposed class are obtained and the optimum
parameters of class are given in double sampling scheme. It has been shown that the proposed class of estimators is more efficient than other estimators in the literature under double sampling scheme. Efficiency comparison is carried out using different data sets.

Keywords


Auxiliary variable, ratio estimator, exponential estimator, double sampling, efficiency.

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.
