Some Effective Rotation Patterns in Estimation of Population Mean in Two-Occasion Successive Sampling

Abstract

This article is an attempt to explore some effective rotation patterns in estimation of current population mean in two occasions successive sampling. Utilizing the readily available information on an auxiliary variable on both occasions and the information on study variable from the previous occasion, some efficient estimation procedures have been suggested. Optimum replacement strategies and the efficiencies of the proposed estimators have been discussed. Empirical studies are carried out and suitable recommendations are made.
