An improved class of estimators for the population variance
Model Assisted Statistics and Applications, 2013Starting from the Singh et al. [28] [Current Science 57: 1331–1334] difference estimator, we define a class of estimators for the unknown variance of a survey variable on the line of Diana et al. [7] [Stat Methods Appl DOI 10.1007/s10260-010-0156-6] when auxiliary variable is available.
