| dc.description.abstract | Olkin [1] proposed a ratio estimator considering p auxiliary variables under simple random sampling. As is expected,
Simple Random Sampling comes with relatively low levels of precision especially with regard to the fact that its variance
is greatest amongst all the sampling schemes. We extend this to stratified random sampling and we consider a case
where the strata have varying weights. We have proposed a Multivariate Ratio Estimator for the population mean in the
presence of two auxiliary variables under Stratified Random Sampling with L strata. Based on an empirical study with
simulations in R statistical software, the proposed estimator was found to have a smaller bias as compared to Olkin’s
estimator. | en_US |
