A Modified Regression Type Estimator Using Two Auxiliary Variables

Abstract

In this paper, a modified regression type estimator has been proposed for estimating population mean using two auxiliary variables under simple random sampling. The optimum properties of proposed estimator is determined and we find that the proposed estimator is more efficient than the Desraj (1965) and Srivastva (1967). Empirical studies have also done to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed estimator.
