Comparison of variance estimators for the ratio estimator based on small sample

Comparison of variance estimators for the ratio estimator based on small sample This paper sheds light on an open problem put forward by Cochran[1]. The comparison between two commonly used variance estimators $$v_1 (\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\frown}$}}{R} )$$ and $$v_2 (\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\frown}$}}{R} )$$ of the ratio estimator $$\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\frown}$}}{R} $$ for population ratioR from small sample selected by simple random sampling is made following the idea of the estimated loss approach (See [2]). Considering the superpopulation model under which the ratio estimator $$\hat \bar Y_R $$ for population mean $$\overline Y $$ is the best linear unbiased one, the necessary and sufficient conditions for $$\upsilon _1 (\hat R)\mathop \succ \limits^u \upsilon _2 (\hat R)$$ and $$\upsilon _2 (\hat R)\mathop \succ \limits^u \upsilon _1 (\hat R)$$ are obtained with ignored the sampling fractionf. For a substantialf, several rigorous sufficient conditions for $$\upsilon _2 (\hat R)\mathop \succ \limits^u \upsilon _1 (\hat R)$$ are derived. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Mathematicae Applicatae Sinica Springer Journals

Abstract

This paper sheds light on an open problem put forward by Cochran[1]. The comparison between two commonly used variance estimators $$v_1 (\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\frown}$}}{R} )$$ and $$v_2 (\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\frown}$}}{R} )$$ of the ratio estimator $$\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\frown}$}}{R} $$ for population ratioR from small sample selected by simple random sampling is made following the idea of the estimated loss approach (See [2]). Considering the superpopulation model under which the ratio estimator $$\hat \bar Y_R $$ for population mean $$\overline Y $$ is the best linear unbiased one, the necessary and sufficient conditions for $$\upsilon _1 (\hat R)\mathop \succ \limits^u \upsilon _2 (\hat R)$$ and $$\upsilon _2 (\hat R)\mathop \succ \limits^u \upsilon _1 (\hat R)$$ are obtained with ignored the sampling fractionf. For a substantialf, several rigorous sufficient conditions for $$\upsilon _2 (\hat R)\mathop \succ \limits^u \upsilon _1 (\hat R)$$ are derived.
