Abstract

This study adopts a nonparametric approach in the estimation of a finite population error variance in the setting where the variance is a constant (homoscedastic) using a model-based technique under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR). A mean square analysis of the estimator has been conducted, including the asymptotic behaviour of the estimator and the results show that the asymptotic distribution in a homoscedastic setting is asymptotically unbiased and consistent. The performance of the developed estimator is compared to that of other existing estimators using real data. R statistical software was utilized to analyze data and numerical results presented graphically for selected models.
