摘要:In this paper, two modified factor-type estimators with two auxiliary variables for population mean have been suggested. Bias and MSE of the suggested estimators have been derived up to first order approximation using Tailor’s series expansion and the conditions for their efficiency over some existing estimators have been established theoretically. Empirical study was conducted using three dataset and the results revealed that the suggested estimators are more efficient.
