Title
An improved estimator of finite population mean when using two auxiliary attributes
Abstract
In this paper, we propose an improved estimator of finite population mean using information on two auxiliary attributes under simple random sampling (SRS) and two-phase sampling schemes. The bias and mean squared error (MSE) expressions of the proposed estimators are obtained up to first order of approximation. It is shown theoretically, that the proposed estimator is more efficient than the ratio-product type estimator, regression estimator, difference type estimator and Malik and Singh (2013) [13] estimator in both SRS and two phase sampling. An empirical study using two data sets is also conducted to support the theoretical findings.
