Abstract
This article suggests a chain ratio-type estimator of population total based on calibration that takes into account auxiliary variables present on both occasions, and information on the study variable is not available on the first occasion. The optimal composite weights to choose, together with their performance range, are presented along with the bias expression. An empirical and simulation-based study is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested estimator. The studies demonstrate that the proposed estimator outperforms the other estimators for various composite weight selections with varying matched and unmatched sample sizes.
期刊介绍:
This Journal is established with a view to cater to increased awareness for high quality research in the seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies to formulate bankable solutions to the emergent complex engineering problems.
Assurance engineering could be thought of as relating to the provision of higher confidence in the reliable and secure implementation of a system’s critical characteristic features through the espousal of a holistic approach by using a wide variety of cross disciplinary tools and techniques. Successful realization of sustainable and dependable products, systems and services involves an extensive adoption of Reliability, Quality, Safety and Risk related procedures for achieving high assurancelevels of performance; also pivotal are the management issues related to risk and uncertainty that govern the practical constraints encountered in their deployment. It is our intention to provide a platform for the modeling and analysis of large engineering systems, among the other aforementioned allied goals of systems assurance engineering, leading to the enforcement of performance enhancement measures. Achieving a fine balance between theory and practice is the primary focus. The Journal only publishes high quality papers that have passed the rigorous peer review procedure of an archival scientific Journal. The aim is an increasing number of submissions, wide circulation and a high impact factor.
