New regression-type compromised imputation class of estimators with known parameters of auxiliary variable

Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a regression-type compromised imputation methods free of unknown parameters. The properties (biases and MSEs) of the proposed class of estimators are derived up to first order approximation using Taylor series approach. Also, the conditions for which the proposed estimators are more efficient than other estimators considered in the study were established. Results of numerical illustration using both real and simulated data revealed that the proposed estimators are more efficient and practicable than exiting estimators considered in the study.
