The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of arbitration mechanism on labour relations equilibrium in public education sector in Kenya with a view to instil labour relations harmony to enhance labour ...

The problem of nonparametric estimation of finite population distribution function using multiplicative bias correction technique is considered in this paper. A robust estimator of the finite population distribution function ...

Nonparametric estimation of population parameters for finite populations has been used with great success for data that fit the independent and identically distributed framework. However, most of these approaches do not ...

Chambers and Dorfman (2002) constructed bootstrap confidence intervals in model based estimation for finite population totals assuming that auxiliary values are available throughout a target population and that the auxiliary ...

In this paper, attempt to study effects of extreme observations on two estimators of finite population total theoretically and by simulation is made. We compare the ratio estimate with the local linear polynomial estimate ...

We propose a nonparametric regression approach to the estimation of a finite population total in model based frameworks in the case of stratified sampling. Similar work has been done, by Nadaraya and Watson (1964), Hansen ...

Let two separate surveys collect related information on a single population U. Consider situation where we want to best combine data from the two surveys to yield a single set of estimates of a population quantity (population ...

The objective of this paper is to develop an improved population variance estimators in the presence of two auxiliary variables in stratified random sampling adapting the family of estimators proposed by Koyunchu and ...

The problem of estimating the variance of an estimator of the population total when missing values have been filled using a Nearest Neighbour (NN) imputation method is considered. The estimator is developed assuming a more ...
