Abstract

In this paper the problem of estimating the population mean $$\bar{Y}$$ Y ¯ of the study variable $$y$$ y using information on auxiliary variable $$x$$ x in systematic sampling has been considered. Taking motivation from Singh et al. (J Sci Res 56:177–182, 2012a; J Reliab Stat Stud 5(1):73–82, 2012b) we have proposed a class of estimators for the population mean $$\bar{Y}$$ Y ¯ . The bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the suggested class of estimators are obtained. Optimum condition is obtained in which the suggested class of estimators has minimum MSE. A numerical study is provided to show that the members of the proposed class of estimators are more efficient than the other existing estimators.
