A class of ratio estimators of finite population variance is proposed in this study. The properties of the proposed estimators have been derived using Taylor’s Series method up to first order of approximation. The efficiency conditions which are the mean square errors (MSEs) and percentage relative efficiency (PRE) of the proposed estimators over existing estimators have been established. The analytical illustration was also conducted to affirm the theoretical results. The results of the empirical study revealed that the proposed estimators are more efficient than the existing estimators considered in the study.


In this paper, an improved estimator for population variance has been proposed to improvise the log-type estimators proposed by Kumari et al. (2019). The properties of proposed estimators are derived up to the first order of approximation. The proposed estimatorfound to be betterthan the existing estimatorsin the sense of mean squraed error and percent relative efficiency. A numerical study is included to support the use of the suggested classes of estimators.
