On Some Families of Estimators of Variance of Post-Stratified Sample Mean Using Two Auxiliary Variables

Abstract

In this article, we propose some families of estimators for finite population variance of post-stratified sample mean using information on two auxiliary variables. The families of estimators are discussed in their optimum cases. The MSE of these estimators are derived to the first order of approximation. The percent relative efficiency of proposed families of estimators has been demonstrated with the numerical illustrations.
