Abstract
The symmetrized Des Raj estimator for a finite population total based on a PPSWOR sample of size two is shown to be admissible within (i) the class of all linear estimators and (ii) the class of all unbiased estimators. In this connection we have obtained a class of admissible linear estimators of the population total which includes the sample mean multiplied by the population size and the classical ratio estimator for any arbitrary sampling design.
