A class of unbiased ratio estimators in two-phase sampling

open access: yes, 2013
A class of unbiased ratio-type estimators in two (double) phases sampling has been constructed. It has been shown that Sukhatme's (1962) estimator is a particular member of the proposed class.

An improved class of estimators in RR surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This work proposes a general class of estimators for the population total of a sensitive variable using auxiliary information. Under a general randomized response model, the optimal estimator in this class is derived.

An Improved Class of Chain Ratio-Product Type Estimators in Two-Phase Sampling Using Two Auxiliary Variables

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2014
This paper presents a technique for estimating finite population mean of the study variable in the presence of two auxiliary variables using two-phase sampling scheme when the regression line does not pass through the neighborhood of the origin.

Semiparametric Estimation with Generated Covariates [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we study a general class of semiparametric optimization estimators of a vector-valued parameter. The criterion function depends on two types of infinite-dimensional nuisance parameters: a conditional expectation function that has been ...

A Class of Estimators of Population Mean in Case of Post Stratification

open access: yes, 2016
This paper proposes a class of ratio-cum-product type estimators in case of post-stratification. Particular members of the proposed class of ratio-cum-product type estimators have been identified and studied thoroughly from efficiency point of view.

Inadmissibility of a Class of Estimators of a Normal Quantile

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1971
Suppose that independent normally distributed random vectors $W^{n\times 1}$ and $T^{k\times 1}$ are observed with $E(W) = 0, E(T) = \mu, \operatorname{Cov} (W) = \sigma^2 I$ and $\operatorname{Cov} (T) = \sigma^2 I$. In this paper it is shown that each member of a certain class of estimators of $\mu + \eta\sigma$ for a given vector $\eta$ is ...
