Abstract

In this paper, a class of double sampling difference cum ratio - type estimator using two auxiliary variables was proposed for estimating the finite population mean of the variable of interest. The expression for the bias and the mean square error of the proposed estimators are derived; in addition, some members of the class of the estimator are identified. The conditions under which the proposed estimators perform better than the sample mean and the existing double sampling ratio type estimators are derived. The empirical analysis showed that the proposed class of estimator performs better than the existing estimators considered in this study.
