Study of Dual to Ratio-Cum-Product Estimator of Finite Population Mean under Double Sampling in Sample Surveys

A class of estimator based on dual to ratio and dual to product-type estimator in double sampling for estimating finite population mean is proposed. The bias and mean square error of the proposed estimator are obtained in two different cases. A comparative study has been made with usual estimators,...

Description
Summary:A class of estimator based on dual to ratio and dual to product-type estimator in double sampling for estimating finite population mean is proposed. The bias and mean square error of the proposed estimator are obtained in two different cases. A comparative study has been made with usual estimators, dual to ratio estimator, dual to product type estimator in double sampling in two different cases. The proposed estimator is found to be an improvement over the other estimators as special cases.
