A new chain ratio estimator using information on auxiliary attribute

Abstract

In this paper, we develop to ratio estimator suggested by Naik-Gupta [J. Indian Soc. Agric. Stat., 48 (2), 151-158] [1] and obtain its MSE equation. We prove that the proposed chain ratio estimator is more efficient than the Naik-Gupta estimator under certain conditions. In addition, this theoretical result is supported by an application with original data sets.
