Abstract:
This article aims to suggest an improved estimator for estimation of population median using auxiliary information under simple random sampling. The expression for the bias and mean square error are obtained up to first order approximation. We determine the MLE of the optimal values of the describing scalars. The proficiency of the suggested estimator is evaluated in comparison to the preliminary estimators using the MSE threshold. The suggested estimators are compared numerically to the ones that are currently studied in this study. The performance and novelty of the estimators was evaluated using real data sets and a simulation study. To check the efficiency of estimators empirical and theoretical study has been studied. Based on numerical result it is to be noted that our suggested estimator is more efficient as compared to existing estimators which is considered in this article in terms of least MSE and greater PRE.

What are Estimates?
The estimate for the mean of a sample is denoted by ͞x, whereas the mean of the population is designated as μ. Further, parameters such...

Midrange
Simply put, the midrange is half of the data set’s range. Similar to the mean, the midrange is sensitive to the extreme values and hence the prospective outliers. However, unlike the mean, the midrange is not sensitive to all the values of the data set that lie in the middle. Thus, it is prone to...
