SEARCH OF GOOD ROTATION PATTERNS THROUGH EXPONENTIAL TYPE REGRESSION ESTIMATOR IN SUCCESSIVE SAMPLING OVER TWO OCCASIONS

Abstract

The problem of estimating the finite population mean on the second (current) occasion in successive sampling over two occasions has been discussed.  Utilizing all the readily available information from first and second occasions, an efficient estimation procedure through exponential type regression estimator has been developed.  It has been shown that the proposed procedure is more efficient than the one recently reported by Singh and Homa [17].  Optimum replacement policy relevant to the suggested estimation procedure has been advocated.  In support of the present study a numerical illustration is given.
