摘要:
This paper proposes some estimators for the population mean by adapting the estimator in Singh et al. (2008) [5] to the ratio estimators presented in Kadilar and Cingi 2006 [2]. We obtain mean square error (MSE) equation for all proposed estimators, and show that all proposed estimators are always more efficient than ratio estimator in Naik and Gupta (1996) [3], and Singh et al. (2008) [5]. The results have been illustrated numerically by taking some empirical population considered in the literature. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
