The use of ratio and product methods of estimation using auxiliary information for estimating the mean of a finite population is well known. Srivastava [1967] and Reddy [19731 proposed ratio-cum-product type estimators. This paper proposes a transformed estimator which is even more efficient than these estimators for a wide range of the value of the correlation coefficient between the main and auxiliary variables.
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.
