Abstract
In survey statistics, estimating and reducing population variation is crucial. These variations can occur in any sampling design, including stratified random sampling, where stratum weights may increase the variance of estimators. Calibration techniques, which use additional auxiliary information, can help mitigate this issue. This paper examines three calibration-based estimators—calibration variance, calibration ratio, and calibration exponential ratio estimators—within the framework of stratified random sampling. The study generates data from normal, gamma, and exponential distributions to test these estimators. Results demonstrate that the proposed calibration estimators offer more accurate estimates of population variance and outperform existing methods in estimating population variance under stratified random sampling, providing more accurate and reliable estimates.
