Comparing Ratio Estimators Based on Systematic Samples

 

H.N. Hamdan, J.L. Szarka III, and A.M. Jacks (2006). Comparing Ratio Estimators Based on Systematic Samples. Journal of Statistical Research, Vol. 40, No. 2, pp.  1-12.

 

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate competitive ratio estimators, and introduce a new approach to estimation when a systematic sample of size n with a random start is used. The competitive ratio estimators are the mean of ratios, ratio of means, and the conditional best linear unbiased estimator. These estimators are used to measure the population proportion of the total of a variable Y with respect to another variable, X. A new approach is suggested, a bootstrap estimate using a non-linear additive regression technique, in which a Monte-Carlo simulation is done using the predicted values from the fitted model to find estimates for the variances. This new approach has yielded small mean square errors.
