Considering certain generalised random permutation models we have derived optimal estimators of finite population variance within a general class of quadratic estimators. The class of non-negative unbiased polynomial estimators of variance has also been examined and an optimal estimator within that class has been derived under this model.

We suggest an estimator using two auxiliary variables for the estimation of the unknown population variance. The bias and the mean square error of the proposed estimator are obtained to the first order of approximations. In addition, the problem is extended to two-phase sampling scheme. After theoretical comparisons, as an illustration, a numerical comparison is carried out to examine the performance of the suggested estimator with several estimators.
