This paper incorporates the variance of auxiliary variables to propose three improved ratio estimators of population mean. To enhance the efficiency of the proposed ratio estimators, a linear combination of the population coefficient of variation, kurtosis, skewness and the population variance of the auxiliary variable is harnessed. The properties relating to the suggested estimators are assessed using constant, bias and mean square error. We also provided practical study for illustration and corroboration using a population data consisting of the fixed capital, which is the supporting variable and output of 80 factories which are the study variables. The suggested improved ratio estimators performed better than other ratio estimators in the literature when compared using bias and mean square error.

In this paper, we propose modified ratio estimators using some known values of coefficient of variation, coefficient of skewness and coefficient of kurtosis of auxiliary variable under ranked set sampling (RSS).  The mean square error (MSE) of the proposed ratio estimators under ranked set sampling is derived and compared with some existing ratio estimators under RSS. Through this comparison, we prove theoretically that MSC of proposed estimators is less than some existing ratio estimators in RSS under some conditions. The MSE of proposed estimators along with some existing estimator are also calculated numerically. We observe from numerical results that the suggested ratio estimators are more efficient than some existing ratio estimators under RSS.

In This paper a modied ratio-type estimator for nite population mean under stratied random sampling using single auxiliary variable has been proposed. The expression for mean square error and bias of the proposed estimator are derived up to the rst order of approximation. The expression for minimum mean square error of proposed estimator is also obtained. The mean square error the proposed estimator is compared with other existing estimators theoretically and condition are obtained under which proposed estimator performed better. A real life population data set has been considered to compare the efciency of the proposed estimator numerically.

We propose a new modified ratio estimator of population mean of the main variable using the linear combination of known values of Co-efficient of Kurtosis and Tri-Mean of the auxiliary variable. Mean Square Error (MSE) and bias of the proposed estimator is calculated and compared with the existing estimator. The comparison is demonstrated numerically which shows that the proposed estimator performs better than the existing estimators.

Abstract In this paper we have proposed a class of modified ratio type variance estimators for estimation of population variance of the study variable using the known parameters of the auxiliary variable. The bias and mean squared error of the proposed estimators are obtained and also derived the conditions for which the proposed estimators perform better than the traditional ratio type variance estimator and existing modified ratio type variance estimators. Further we have compared the proposed estimators with that of the traditional ratio type variance estimator and existing modified ratio type variance estimators for certain natural populations.

<p>Conventional measures of location are commonly used to develop ratio estimators. However, in this article, we attempt to use some non-conventional location measures. We have incorporated tri-mean, Hodges-Lehmann, and mid-range of the auxiliary variable for this purpose. To enhance the efficiency of the proposed mean ratio estimators, population correlation coefficient, coefficient of variation and the linear combinations of auxiliary variable have also been exploited. The properties associated with the proposed estimators are evaluated through bias and mean square errors. We also provide an empirical study for illustration and verification.</p>

In this paper, three difference-cum-ratio estimators for estimating finite population coefficient of variation of the study variable using known population mean, population variance and population coefficient of variation of auxiliary variable were suggested. The biases and mean square errors (MSEs) of the proposed estimators were obtained. The relative performance of the proposed estimators with respect to that of some existing estimators were assessed using two populations’ information. The results showed that the proposed estimators were more efficient than the usual unbiased, ratio type, exponential ratio-type, difference-type and other existing estimators considered in the study.

The present paper deals with the estimation of population mean of the study variable using the linear combination of known population values of coefficient of skewness and quartile deviation of auxiliary variable. Two modified ratio estimators for estimation of population mean of the study variable involving the above linear combinations are being used. Mean squared errors and biases up to the first degree of approximation are derived and compared with the proposed modified ratio estimators. The proposed modified ratio estimators perform better than the existing ratio estimators. The empirical study has been carried out in support of the results.

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.
