Abstract

Abstract: Recently Pal et al. introduced a mean estimator which generalized most of the known mean estimators. We introduce a class of estimators that performs better than Pal et al. estimator. Expressions for bias and MSE for the proposed estimator are derived up to first order of approximation. We use the six datasets for numerical comparison.
