Abstract:
Values that are too large or small enough can be found in many data sets. Therefore, the estimator can yield ambiguous findings if several of the incredible deals are picked for the sample. When such extreme values occur, we propose improved estimators to determine the finite population means using double sampling based on probability proportional to size sampling (PPS). The properties of estimators are obtained up to the first order of approximations. When the size of the units varies widely, the PPS sampling technique may be employed. To determine the values of Pi when using PPS, we must be acquainted with the aggregate of the auxiliary variable . However the designs and estimation techniques we have looked at so far are unsuccessful and are less effective when this information is difficult to locate or when other information is missing. The two-phase approach is preferable and more feasible in these kinds of circumstances. To demonstrate how effectively the recommended estimators performed, we used three actual data sets. We show mathematically and theoretically that the suggested estimators outperform alternative estimators.
