Abstract

In the present paper, we have tried to discover a new calibration estimator of the population mean under stratified two-phase sampling design utilizing the information on two auxiliary variables. In order to develop the calibration estimator, we have obtained new optimum stratum weights so that the MSE/Variance of the estimator would be minimized. Moreover, we have compared the efficiency of the proposed calibration estimator with that of the calibration estimator considered under the stratified two-phase sampling scheme using single auxiliary variable. An empirical illustration along with a simulation analysis has also been presented to demonstrate the theoretical results.
