Development of Estimators for Population Mean of Sensitive Variable in Survey Sampling

Abstract

In Chapter 1, introduction about Survey sampling, use of auxiliary in formation in context stratified random sampling has been deliberated. Further in Chapter 1, Different methods dealing randomized response have been deliberated by different authors but Hansen-Hurwitz sub sampling has been consider in more detail. In Chapter 2, the literature regarding the use of classical sampling de sign has been deliberated. The literature about some existing estimators for calibration estimator under stratified random sampling has been ex press. Various work of randomized response has also been specified in Chapter 2. Some well-known existing randomized response model, scrambling vari able under auxiliary and study variable, with randomized response or complete response have been reproduced in Chapter3. The major con tribution of this study starts from next Chapter. In Chapter 4, new estimators using auxiliary information have been proposed for calibration estimator in randomized response under strat ified random sampling scheme. The mean square error each estimator has been derived along. In Chapter 5 conclusion has been drawn about the generalized class of estimators proposed in this study. Finally it is shown that the propose estimator II is more efficient than proposed estimator I.
