The expressions for mean square error are derived. An empirical study is given to compare the performance of the estimator with existing estimators. It has been found that the ratio-cum-product estimator using multiple auxiliary attributes is more efficient than mean per unit, product and ratio estimators using one auxiliary attribute, and Product and Ratio estimators using multiple auxiliary attributes in single phase sampling.展开更多

Two covariates were used and a case where the observational errors were in both the survey variable and the covariates was considered. The inclusion of observational errors was due to the fact that data collected through surveys are often not free from errors that occur during observation. These errors can occur due to over-reporting, under-reporting, memory failure by the respondents or use of imprecise tools of data collection. The expression of mean squared error (MSE) based on the obtained estimator has been derived to the first degree of approximation. The results of a simulation study show that the derived modified regression mean estimator under observational errors is more efficient than the mean per unit estimator and some other existing estimators. The proposed estimator can therefore be used in estimating a finite population mean, while considering observational errors that may occur during a study.展开更多

An empirical was carried out to compare the performance of the proposed estimator with the existing estimators of finite population mean using simulated population. It was found that the mixture regression-cum-ratio estimator was more efficient than ratio and regression estimators using one auxiliary variable and attribute, ratio and regression estimators using multiple auxiliary variables and attributes and regression-cum-ratio estimators using multiple auxiliary variables and attributes in single-phase sampling for finite population.展开更多
