Abstract
In survey sampling, several estimation procedures have been proffered by various prominent authors to compute the impact of measurement errors (ME) but the impact of correlated measurement errors (CME) has been computed only by Shalabh and Tsai [Ratio and product methods of estimation of population mean in the presence of correlated measurement errors. Commun Stat Simul Comput. 2016;46(7):5566–5593]. This study provides a novel approach to compute the impact of CME through some logarithmic-type estimators using simple random sampling (SRS). The properties of the proffered estimators have been studied and compared with the properties of the conventional estimators. A numerical study and a broad spectrum simulation study are accomplished over real and artificially generated populations to support the theoretical results.
