The present paper provides alternative improved Factor-Type (F-T) estimators of population mean in presence of item non-response for the practitioners. The proposed estimators have been shown to be more efficient than the four existing estimators which are more efficient than the usual ratio and the mean estimators. Optimum conditions for minimum mean squared error are obtained for the new estimators. Empirical comparisons based on three different data sets establish that the proposed estimators record least mean squared error and hence a substantial gain in Percentage Relative Efficiency (P.R.E.), over these five contemporary estimators.

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.

Given a d-dimensional random field and a Poisson process independent of it, suppose that it is possible to observe only the location of each point of the Poisson process and the value of the random field at that (randomly located) point. Non-parametric estimators of the mean and covariance function of the random field—based on observation over compact sets of single realizations of the Poisson samples—are constructed. Under fairly mild conditions these estimators are consistent (in various senses) as the set of observation becomes unbounded in a suitable manner. The state estimation problem of minimum mean-squared error reconstruction of unobserved values of the random field is also examined.

This paper is concerned with pre-test single and double stage shrunken estimators for the mean (?) of normal distribution when a prior estimate (?0) of the actule value (?) is available, using specifying shrinkage weight factors ?(?) as well as pre-test region (R). Expressions for the Bias [B(?)], mean squared error [MSE(?)], Efficiency [EFF(?)] and Expected sample size [E(n/?)] of proposed estimators are derived. Numerical results and conclusions are drawn about selection different constants included in these expressions. Comparisons between suggested estimators, with respect to classical estimators in the sense of Bias and Relative Efficiency, are given. Furthermore, comparisons with the earlier existing works are drawn.

In this paper we suggest two modified estimators of the population mean using the power transformation based on ranked set sampling (RSS). The first order approximation of the bias and of the mean squared error of the proposed estimators are obtained. A generalized version of the suggested estimators by applying the power transformation is also presented. Theoretically, it is shown that these suggested estimators are more efficient than the estimators in simple random sampling (SRS). A numerical illustration is also carried out to demonstrate the merits of the proposed estimators using RSS over the usual estimators in SRS.

Percentage Relative Efficiency

It is a well-established fact in regression analysis that multicollinearity and autocorrelated errors have adverse effects on the properties of the least squares estimator. Huang and Yang (2015) and Chandra and Tyagi (2016) studied the PCTP estimator and the r-(k,d) class estimator, respectively, to deal with both problems simultaneously and compared their performances with the estimators obtained as their special cases. However, to the best of our knowledge, the performance of both estimators has not been compared so far. Hence, this paper is intended to compare the performance of these two estimators under mean squared error (MSE) matrix criterion. Further, a simulation study is conducted to evaluate superiority of the r-(k,d) class estimator over the PCTP estimator by means of percentage relative efficiency. Furthermore, two numerical examples have been given to illustrate the performance of the estimators.

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the population mean  of the study variable using information on transformed auxiliary variables. In addition to many, Yasmeen et al (2015) estimator shown to the members of the suggested classes of estimators. We have derived the bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the suggested classes of estimators to the first degree of approximation. We have obtained the optimum conditions for which the suggested classes of estimators have minimum mean squared errors. It has been shown that the proposed classes of estimators are more efficient than the estimators recently envisaged by Yasmeen et al (2015) and other existing estimators.
