摘要
In this paper the problem of estimating the population mean Y¯ of the study variable y using information on auxiliary variable x in systematic sampling has been considered. Taking motivation from Singh et al. (J Sci Res 56:177–182, 2012a; J Reliab Stat Stud 5(1):73–82, 2012b) we have proposed a class of estimators for the population mean Y¯. The bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the suggested class of estimators are obtained. Optimum condition is obtained in which the suggested class of estimators has minimum MSE. A numerical study is provided to show that the members of the proposed class of estimators are more efficient than the other existing estimators. © 2017, The Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management (SREQOM), India and The Division of Operation and Maintenance, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden.
