The paper produces some new modified forms of the ratio estimators using the auxiliary information. The large sample properties, that is, the bias and mean squared error up to the first order of approximation are determined. The comparison is made with other existing estimators by using an applied data. It has been observed that the proposed estimators have a fewer mean squared error and leads to the efficient results as compared to the classical ratio estimator, Sisodia and Dwivedi, Singh and Kakran, Upadhyaya and Singh estimators.

Ratio Estimators

In this paper we have considered the problem of estimating the population mean using auxiliary information in sample surveys. A class of dual to ratio estimators has been defined. Exact expressions for bias and mean squared error of the suggested class of dual to ratio estimator have been obtained. In particular, properties of some members of the proposed class of dual to ratio estimators have been discussed. 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.

Estimation Of Variance

In this article, we have suggested estimation of variance in finite population by using known values of parameter related to auxiliary information such as rank and second raw moment of auxiliary variable in stratified random sampling. The expression for the bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the suggested estimator are obtained up to first order of approximation. The proposed estimator is efficient comparatively various other estimators. A numerical and theoretical study are performed to support the suggested estimator.

We propose a two-parameter ratio-product-ratio estimator for a finite population mean in a simple random sample without replacement following the methodology in the studies of Ray and Sahai (1980), Sahai and Ray (1980), A. Sahai and A. Sahai (1985), and Singh and Espejo (2003).The bias and mean squared error of our proposed estimator are obtained to the first degree of approximation. We derive conditions for the parameters under which the proposed estimator has smaller mean squared error than the sample mean, ratio, and product estimators. We carry out an application showing that the proposed estimator outperforms the traditional estimators using groundwater data taken from a geological site in the state of Florida.

Penetration Tests

The current study involves placing 135 boreholes drilled to a depth of 10 m below the existing ground level. Three standard penetration tests (SPT) are performed at depths of 1.5, 6, and 9.5 m for each borehole. To produce thematic maps with coordinates and depths for the bearing capacity variation of the soil, a numerical analysis was conducted using MATLAB software. Despite several-order interpolation polynomials being used to estimate the bearing capacity of soil, the first-order polynomial was the best among the other trials due to its simplicity and fast calculations. Additionally, the root mean squared error (RMSE) was almost the same for the all of the tried models. The results of the study can be summarized by the production of thematic maps showing the variation of the bearing capacity of the soil over the whole area of Al-Basrah city correlated with several depths. The bearing capacity of soil obtained from the suggested first-order polynomial matches well with those calculated from the results of SPTs with a deviation of ±30% at a 95% confidence interval.

The small sample bias of the least-squares coefficient estimator is examined in the dynamic multiple linear regression model with normally distributed whitenoise disturbances and an arbitrary number of regressors which are all exogenous except for the one-period lagged-dependent variable. We employ large sample (T → ∞) and small disturbance (σ → 0) asymptotic theory and derive and compare expressions to O(T−1) and to O(σ2), respectively, for the bias in the least-squares coefficient vector. In some simulations and for an empirical example, we examine the mean (squared) error of these expressions and of corrected estimation procedures that yield estimates that are unbiased to O(T−l) and to O(σ2), respectively. The large sample approach proves to be superior, easily applicable, and capable of generating more efficient and less biased estimators.

Using auxiliary information, a family of difference-cum-exponential type estimators for estimating the population variance of variable under study have been proposed under double sampling design. Expressions for bias, mean squared error and its minimum values have been obtained. The comparisons have been made with the regression-type estimator by using simple random sampling at both occasions in double sampling design. It has also been shown that better estimators can be obtained from the proposed family of estimators which are more efficient than the linear regression type estimator. Results have also been illustrated numerically as well asgraphically.

Class Of Estimators

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.

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.
