The present manuscript pertains to an efficient ratio type predictive estimator for estimating finite population mean using the information on median of the study variable. Mathematical expressions for the bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the proposed predictive estimator have been obtained upto the first order of approximation. A theoretical efficiency comparison of the proposed estimator has been made with the Singh et al.(2014) and Yadav and Mishra (2015) estimators under predictive modelling approach. Theoretical findings are validated through the numerical study, and it has been found that proposed estimator performs better than the existing estimators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
