CHAIN RATIO ESTIMATOR IN TWO STAGE SAMPLING
Keywords:
Ratio Estimator, Chain Ratio Estimator, Auxiliary Information, Two Stage Sampling.Abstract
In this paper, a chain ratio estimator is suggested in a two stage sampling set up in the presence of two auxiliary variables and its efficiency is compared with the use of single auxiliary variable or without use of any auxiliary information.
