In this paper, separate and combined ratio type estimators have been proposed in presence of non-response for estimating the population mean under stratified random sampling when the non-response occurs both on study and the auxiliary variables and the population mean of the auxiliary variable is unknown. The expressions for the biases and mean square errors (MSEs) of the proposed estimators have been derived to the first order of approximation. The proposed estimators have been compared with the other existing estimators using MSE criterion, and the condition under which the proposed estimators perform better than existing estimators have been obtained. In addition to the theoretical research, an empirical study was conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the difficulty of estimating the population mean in the situation of post-stratification is discussed. The case of post-stratification is presented for ratio-type exponential estimators of finite population mean. Mean-squared error of the proposed estimator is obtained up to the first degree of approximation. In the instance of post-stratification, the proposed estimator was compared with the existing estimators. An empirical study by using some real data and further, simulation study has been carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed estimator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we proposed a novel dual to ratio cum product type exponential estimator in stratified random sampling. The bias and mean square error up to the first degree of approximation of the proposed estimator have been obtained. The proposed estimator has been compared with the unbiased estimator in stratified random sampling, combined ratio and product estimators, dual to combined ratio, and product estimators. Our results showed a great improvement in terms of relative efficiency. Also, the results are supported by empirical studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
