Some Improved Ratio Estimators for Estimating Mean of Finite Population

Abstract

In this paper we have proposed an efficient estimator for estimating the mean of finite population under simple random sampling schemes. We have proposed a modified ratio estimator whose efficiency is the same as of regression estimator. It is a well establish fact that linear regression estimator is more efficient than most of the ratio estimators. We have found the Bias and MSE up to first order of approximation. The conditions under which the proposed estimators perform well as compared to other estimators. These properties are supported by real data sets.
