For estimating the mean of a finite population, Srivastava and Jhajj (1981) defined a broad class of estimators which we information of the sample mean as well as the sample variance of an auxiliary variable. In this paper we extend this class of estimators to the case when such information on p(> 1) auxiliary variables is available. The estimators of the class involve unknown constants whose optimum values depend on unknown population parameters. When these population parameters are replaced by their consistent estimates, the resulting estimators are shown to have the same asymptotic mean squared error. An expression by which the mean squared error of such estimators is smaller than those which use only the population means of the auxiliary variables, is obtained.

Abstract In this paper we have suggested a family of estimators of the population mean using auxiliary information in sample surveys. The bias and mean squared error of the proposed class of estimators have been obtained under large sample approximation. We have derived the conditions for the parameters under which the proposed class of estimators has smaller mean squared error than the sample mean, ratio, product, regression estimator and the two parameter ratio-product-ratio estimators envisaged by Chami et al (2012). An empirical study is carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed class of estimators over other existing estimators.

This chapter introduced basic elements on stratified simple random sampling (SSRS) on ranked set sampling (RSS). The chapter extends Singh et al. results to sampling a stratified population. The mean squared error (MSE) is derived. SRS is used independently for selecting the samples from the strata. The chapter extends Singh et al. results under the RSS design. They are used for developing the estimation in a stratified population. RSS is used for drawing the samples independently from the strata. The bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the developed estimators are derived. A comparison between the biases and MSEs obtained for the sampling designs SRS and RSS is made. Under mild conditions the comparisons sustained that each RSS model is better than its SRS alternative.

This paper explore the need for exploiting auxiliary variables in sample survey and utilizing asymptotically optimum estimator in double sampling to increase the efficiency of estimators. The study proposed two types of estimators with two auxiliary variables for two phase sampling when there is no information about auxiliary variables at population level. The expressions for the Mean Squared Error (MSE) of the proposed estimators were derived to the first order of approximation. An empirical comparative approach of the minimum variances and percent relative efficiency were adopted to study the efficiency of the proposed and existing estimators. It was established that, the proposed estimators performed more efficiently than the mean per unit estimator and other previous estimators that don’t use auxiliary variable and that are not asymptotically optimum. Also, it was established that estimators that are asymptotically optimum that utilized single auxiliary variable are more efficient than those that are not asymptotically optimum with two auxiliary variables.

SummaryWe consider the problem of designing experiments for estimating a target parameter in regression analysis when there is uncertainty about the parametric form of the regression function. A new optimality criterion is proposed that chooses the experimental design to minimize the asymptotic mean squared error of the frequentist model averaging estimate. Necessary conditions for the optimal solution of a locally and Bayesian optimal design problem are established. The results are illustrated in several examples, and it is demonstrated that Bayesian optimal designs can yield a reduction of the mean squared error of the model averaging estimator by up to 45%.

Auxiliary information is very important in constructing estimators for the population parameters for increasing the efficiency different sampling schemes. In this paper, we consider the problem of estimation of population mean using information on auxiliary variables in systematic sampling. We derive the expressions for the bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the suggested estimators up to the 1st degree of approximation. Proposed estimators are compared with usual mean estimator in systematic sampling scheme theoretically as well as empirically.

It has been shown that the proposed class of estimators is more efficient than the sample mean, ratio estimator, dual to ratio estimator and some members of the suggested class of estimators in some realistic conditions. Some numerical illustrations are given in support of the present study.

Robust Measures

In this paper, a generalized class of estimators for the estimation of population median are proposed under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) through robust measures of the auxiliary variable. Three robust measures, decile mean, Hodges–Lehmann estimator, and trimean of an auxiliary variable, are used. Mathematical properties of the proposed estimators such as bias, mean squared error (MSE), and minimum MSE are derived up to first order of approximation. We considered various real-life datasets and a simulation study to check the potentiality of the proposed estimators over the competitors. Robustness is also examined through a real dataset. Based on the fascinating results, the researchers are encouraged to use the proposed estimators for population median under SRSWOR.

In this paper, we have suggested a class of ratio type estimators with a linear combination using two auxiliary variables with some known population mean of the study variable. The bias and the mean square error of the proposed estimators are derived. We identified sub-members of the class of ratio type estimators. The condition for which the the proposed the proposed estimators perform better than the sample mean per unit, Olkin (1958) multivariate ratio, classical linear regression estimator, Singh(1965), Mohanty (1967) and Swain (2012) are derived. From the analysis, it is observed that the proposed estimators perform better than the sample mean per unit and other existing ratio type estimators considered in this study.

This article addresses the problem of estimating the population mean using information on two auxiliary variables in presence of non-response on study variable only under stratified random sampling. A class of estimators has been defined. We have derived the bias and mean squared error up to first order of approximation. Optimum conditions are obtained in which the suggested class of estimators has minimum mean squared error. In addition to Chaudhury et al. (2009) estimator, many estimators can be identified as a member of the suggested class of estimators. It has been shown that the suggested class of estimators is better than the Chaudhury et al. (2009) estimator and other estimators. Results of the present study are supported through numerical illustration.

Dash and Mishra [1] suggested an improved class of estimators without defining the optimum estimator. However, they gave the wrong Taylor’s series expression of their class of estimator and their minimum mean squared error expressions are also incorrect. Here we show that Ahmed et al.’s [2] class of chain estimators is more efficient than Dash and Mishra’s [1], with minimum mean squared error.
