Modified Exponential Ratio-Type Estimator of Population Mean in Stratified Sampling using Calibration Approach

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of estimation of finite population mean in stratified random sampling is considered. Two improved exponential logarithmic type calibration estimators for finite population mean have been proposed for stratified random sampling when auxiliary information related to variable under study is available for each stratum. To judge the performance of the proposed estimators, a simulation study has been carried out in R-software using two datasets, one real and another one artificial generated population. The proposed estimators have also been compared with the estimators developed by Bahl and Tuteja [1] and Singh [17] in case of stratified random sampling.
