An Estimator of Population Mean Using Auxiliary Information for Small Samples
Abstract
In this paper a new class of estimators for estimating population mean under general sampling design has been proposed. The expressions of bias and mean square error of the suggested estimator are derived. For the optimum choice of constants it is more efficient than other existing estimators. Further properties of the proposed estimator are discussed under simple random sampling without replacement procedure. Numerical illustrations have been made
