Neutrosophic Estimators for Estimating the Population Mean in Survey Sampling

Published online: 07 Mar 2024
 

ABSTRACT

In sample survey analysis, accurate population mean estimation is an important task, but traditional approaches frequently ignore the intricacies of real-world data, leading to biassed results. In order to handle uncertainties, indeterminacies, and ambiguity, this work presents an innovative approach based on neutrosophic statistics. We proposed novel neutrosophic factor type exponential estimators that use auxiliary information to improve population mean precision. The suggested estimators are highly useful for computing results while working with unclear, hazy, and neutrosophic-type data. These estimators produce answers that are interval-form rather than single-valued, which may give our population parameter a better chance of being off. Since we now have an estimated interval with the population mean’s unknown value supplied a minimal MSE or highest Percentage Relative Efficiency (PRE), the estimators are more effective. The investigation of alpha constants in the neutrosophic framework, extending from −1 to +1, is at the heart of this research. These constants have a significant impact on how estimates are made and enable flexible accuracy modification. We choose the best neutrosophic values for characterizing constants, emphasizing their importance in obtaining precise estimations. This study further expands its originality by including preexisting estimators into the neutrosophic framework, showcasing its versatility and adaptability. We demonstrate the estimators’ superiority to traditional techniques through empirical assessments employing neutrosophic temperature information and simulation assessments. The ensuing interval-based results, influenced by alpha constants, offer concrete insights into the world of uncertainty, enabling more well-informed decision-making.
