Generalized factor-type exponential estimators of population mean in sample surveys
Resumo
The present article deals with a generalized class of estimators for estimating the population mean in sample surveys, employing various combinations of auxiliary variables and considering some values of characterizing constant alpha ranging from -1 to +1. The proposed estimator may be consider as an efficient extension to the work of Singh and Shukla (Metron, 45(1-2): 273-283, 1987), Bahl and Tuteja (Journal of information and optimization sciences, 12(1), 159-164, 1991) and Kadilar (Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods: Vol. 15 : Iss. 2 , Article 15, 2016). The sampling properties of the suggested estimators have been derived up to the first degree of large sample approximations. The suggested estimators are shown to have smaller mean squared errors than the existing exponential estimators considered in this paper. The percent relative efficiencies with respect to the usual mean estimator are calculated. An improvement has been shown over the existing exponential estimators through theoretical conditions as well as by a numerical and simulation study based on COVID-19 death in India.
