An efficient exponential estimator of the mean under stratified random sampling. Issue 2 (3rd April 2021) - Zaman, Tolga
ABSTRACT: Stratification of population is a probability sampling design used to increase the precision of estimation. An efficient exponential ratio estimator allows estimating the population mean in stratified random sampling using an auxiliary variable. Its expected bias, expected mean square error, and minimum mean square error are expressed. The conditions for which the estimator is more efficient are obtained. The proposed estimators under stratified random sampling have a lower mean square error than the ratio and the exponential estimators.
