摘要
In this article, we consider the problem of estimation of population mean using the known median of auxiliary variable. We proposed an estimator and its efficiency is studied analytically as well as empirically for different conditions. The proposed estimator is found to be more efficient than traditional estimators such as sample mean and linear regression estimator.
