Efficiency of Ratio, Product, and Regression Estimators under Maximum and Minimum Values, Using Two Auxiliary Variables

To obtain the best estimates of the unknown population parameters have been the key theme of the statisticians. In the present paper we have suggested some estimators which estimate the population parameters efficiently. In short we propose a ratio, product, and regression estimators using two auxil...

description To obtain the best estimates of the unknown population parameters have been the key theme of the statisticians. In the present paper we have suggested some estimators which estimate the population parameters efficiently. In short we propose a ratio, product, and regression estimators using two auxiliary variables, when there are some maximum and minimum values of the study and auxiliary variables, respectively. The properties of the proposed strategies in terms of mean square errors (variances) are derived up to first order of approximation. Also the performance of the proposed estimators have shown theoretically and these theoretical conditions are verified numerically by taking four real data sets under which the proposed class of estimators performed better than the other previous works.
