Abstract:
The study aims to estimate the average water level of a river using an auxiliary attribute under a predictive approach. As the average water level varies in different seasons, the study considers the average water level as a study variable and the season an auxiliary attribute. A real data set of the water level of the Jhelum River at Mangla is obtained. As we found a positive correlation between the average water level and the season, we have suggested some ratio-type predictive estimators for estimating the average water level. The mean square errors (MSE) and bias of the suggested estimators are obtained using the MSE and bias of the corresponding conventional (design-based) estimators. The performance of the proposed predictive estimators, relative to their related existing estimators, has been studied, and improved performance has been established.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
