A Simulation Study: Population Distribution Function Estimation Using Dual Auxiliary Information under Stratified Sampling Scheme

摘要

In survey sampling, information on auxiliary variables related to the main variable is often available in many practical problems. Since the mid-twentieth century, researchers have taken a keen interest in the use of auxiliary information, due to its usefulness in estimation methods. In this article, our main objective is to discover the problem associated with estimation of the finite population distribution function, using the known auxiliary variable, which occurs as the sample distribution function and the rank of the auxiliary variable. A new family of the finite population distribution function estimators is proposed in the stratified sampling scheme. The mathematical equations for the bias and mean square error have been obtained for each proposed estimator, along with the e?ciency conditions. Besides theoretical e?ciency comparison, an empirical study has also been conducted to analyze the performance of estimators. A simulation study is also performed to observe the efficiency of the proposed estimators. The implementation of the proposed sampling scheme is illustrated by a practical example.
