Abstract
In the present study, we explore the problem of estimation of finite population variance in simple random sampling (without replacement) by utilizing information of two auxiliary variables. A ratio cum exponential estimator has been proposed and its properties are studied to the first degree of approximation. To demonstrate the efficiency, members of the proposed estimator as well as other existing estimators are compared to the usual unbiased estimator. To study the performance, a simulation study is undertaken for both real and artificial population using R software. The suggested estimator is found to be more efficient than other existing estimators in terms of having minimum MSE.
期刊介绍：
The Colombian Journal of Statistics publishes original articles of theoretical, methodological and educational kind in any branch of Statistics. Purely theoretical papers should include illustration of the techniques presented with real data or at least simulation experiments in order to verify the usefulness of the contents presented. Informative articles of high quality methodologies or statistical techniques applied in different fields of knowledge are also considered. Only articles in English language are considered for publication.
The Editorial Committee assumes that the works submitted for evaluation
have not been previously published and are not being given simultaneously for publication elsewhere, and will not be without prior consent of the Committee, unless, as a result of the assessment, decides not publish in the journal. It is further assumed that when the authors deliver a document for publication in the Colombian Journal of Statistics, they know the above conditions and agree with them.
