Abstract
The problem of estimating Y, the population mean of the character under study, utilizing the knowledge about the coefficient of variation of Y, and information about an auxiliary variate has been considered. It has been shown that the proposed estimators, in the optimum cases, are superior to the corresponding classical regression estimators in both the situations when mean of the auxiliary variate X is known or unknown.
