On Some Improved Class of Estimators by Using Stratified Ranked Set Sampling

Abstract

In this manuscript, we propose the combined and separate difference and ratio type estimators of population mean using stratified ranked set sampling. Additionally, several well-known estimators are identified as the sub-class of the suggested estimators. The characteristics of the suggested estimators have been analyzed and their effective performances are compared with the prominent estimators existing till date. Moreover, to prove the credibility of the theoretical findings, an extensive empirical study is administered over some real and hypothetically yielded symmetric and asymmetric populations.
