Abstract

The present paper is an extension of the work published in Kumar and Vishwakarma (Proceedings of theNational Academy of Sciences, India, Section A: Physical Sciences, 90(5): 933-939, 2020). In this paper,various sample allocation schemes are utilized to derive the mathematical expressions for mean square errors(MSEs) of several well-known estimators of population mean in stratified random sampling. Moreover, theeffects of various allocation schemes on the estimation of mean, are demonstrated theoretically as well asempirically. The findings of the study reveal that the Neyman allocation provides a smaller variance (or MSE,as the case may be) as compared to that of Equal and Proportional allocation schemes for the concernedestimators. Moreover, the proposed classes of estimators are dominant over the pre-existing estimators underthe various allocation schemes considered in the study.
