In this paper, we propose a generalized class of exponential type estimators for estimating the finite population mean using two auxiliary attributes under simple random sampling and stratified random sampling. The bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the proposed class of estimators are derived up to first order of approximation. Both empirical study and theoretical comparisons are discussed. Four populations are used to support the theoretical findings. It is observed that the proposed class of estimators perform better as compared to all other considered estimator in simple and stratified random sampling.

The interpenetrating sub-sampling procedure with unequal sizes of the samples has been compared with an equicost procedure based on equal sized samples and it has been observed that unequal sized samples lead to more precise estimates of a finite population mean in almost all the cases dealt with in this paper. Simple random sampling has b:en considered throughout and it has been assumed that the cost of the survey is proportional to the number of distinct units in the sample.

To improve the efficiency of an estimator with two auxiliary variables, we propose a new estimator of a finite population mean under simple random sampling. The bias and mean square error expressions of the proposed estimator have been obtained. In a comparison study, we found that the new estimator was consistently better than those of Abu-Dayyeh et al., Kadilar and Cingi, and Malik and Singh, as well as the regression estimator using two auxiliary variables, and that the minimum MSE values of the previous three above reported estimators were equal. We used four numerical examples in agricultural, biomedical, and power engineering to support these theoretical results, thus enriching the theory of survey samples by the development of new estimators with two auxiliary variables.
