Abstract

This paper proposes, with justification, two exponential ratio estimators of population mean in simple random sampling without replacement. Their biases and mean squared error are derived and compared
with existing related ratio estimators. Analytical and numerical results
show that at optimal conditions, the proposed ratio estimators are always more efficient than the regression estimator and some existing
estimators under review.
