Ratio in Ratio Type Exponential Strategy for the Estimation of Population Mean

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to develop an estimator for finite population mean. Motivated by Kiregyera (1984), a ratio in ratio type exponential strategy is developed for estimation of population mean in double sampling for stratification. To compare with relevant considered estimators, expressions for bias and mean squared error of the developed estimator have been derived. The developed estimator has been compared with usual unbiased estimator, Ige and Tripathi (1987), ratio estimator and ratio type exponential estimator given by Tailor et al (2014) theoretically as well as empirically.
