In this paper, we have proposed a class of mixture regression-cum-ratio estimator for estimating population mean by using information on multiple auxiliary variables and attributes simultaneously in single-phase sampling and analyzed the properties of the estimator. An empirical was carried out to compare the performance of the proposed estimator with the existing estimators of finite population mean using simulated population. It was found that the mixture regression-cumratio estimator was more efficient than ratio and regression estimators using one auxiliary variable and attribute, ratio and regression estimators using multiple auxiliary variables and attributes and regression-cum-ratio estimators using multiple auxiliary variables and attributes in singlephase sampling for finite population.
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.
