Use of prior information in simple random sampling |
|
| Authors: | P V Dabli |
| Abstract: | Is is assumed that the population mean, to be estimated, is less than or equal to a known constant. An estimator is suggested which takes into account this information to advantage. It is also suggested that stratification coupled with the modified estimator can be best suited in such situations. |
