1 STATISTICA, ao XXII,. 3, 0 A RATIO-CUM-PRODUCT ESTIMATOR OF POPUATIO MEA I STRATIFIED RADOM SAMPIG USIG TWO AUXIIAR VARIABES R. Tailor, S. Coua, R. Tailor,. Garg. ITRODUCTIO A coutry or state frequetly requires estimates of agricultural productio to assess status of grai ad to make future policies regardig export ad import of grais accordig to eed. It requires te estimates of total productio, average productio ad per ectare productio of ay crop wic correspods to te problem of estimatio of populatio total, populatio mea ad ratio of two populatio meas respectively. Tis paper discusses te problem of estimatio of fiite populatio mea usig iformatio o two auxiliary variates. Auxiliary iformatio is ofte used by researcers i order to improve te efficiecies of estimators. Cocra (940) used auxiliary iformatio at estimatio stage ad evisaged ratio metod of estimatio tat provides ratio estimator. Ratio estimator as iger efficiecy we study variate ad auxiliary variates are positively correlated. Robso (957) developed product metod of estimatio tat provides product estimator. We study variate ad auxiliary variate are egatively correlated, product estimator gives iger efficiecy i compariso to simple mea estimator provided correlatio coefficiet betwee study variate ad auxiliary variate is greater ta alf of te ratio of coefficiet of variatio of auxiliary variate ad coefficiet of variatio of study variate. I bot, ratio ad product metods of estimatio, populatio mea of te auxiliary variate is assumed to be kow. Sig (967) utilized iformatio o two auxiliary variates, oe is positively correlated ad aoter is egatively correlated wit te study variate ad suggested ratio-cum-product estimator of populatio mea i simple radom samplig. ater may autors proposed various ratio ad product type estimators i simple radom samplig, for istace see Sisodia ad Dwivedi (98), Padey ad Dubey (988), Upadyaya ad Sig (999), Sig ad Tailor (003), Sig et al. (004), Sig ad Tailor (005), Kadilar ad Cigi (006), Sig et al. (009), Sig et al. (0), etc.. Hase et al. (946) defied combied ratio estimator usig auxiliary iformatio i stratified radom samplig. May autors icludig Kadilar ad Cigi (003, 005, 006) ad Sig et al. (008) worked out ratio type estimators i stratified radom samplig.

Garg Simple radom samplig tecique as some sortcomigs like less represetative of differet sectios of te populatio, admiistrative icoveiece ad less efficiecy i case of eterogeeous populatio. iterature reveals tat ratiocum-product estimator performs better ta ratio ad product type estimators i simple radom samplig uder certai coditios. Tis motivates autors to work out Sig (967) ratio-cum-product estimator i stratified radom samplig ad study its properties. Cosider a fiite populatio U { U, U,..., U } of size ad it is divided ito strata of size (,,..., ). et be te study variate ad X ad Z be two auxiliary variates takig values yi, x i ad z i (,,..., ; i,,..., ) o i t uit of te t stratum. A sample of size is draw from eac stratum wic costitutes a sample of size defie: ad we X Z yi : stratum mea for te study variate, i xi : i zi : i t t stratum mea for te auxiliary variate X, t stratum mea for te auxiliary variate Z, y W : populatio mea of te study vari- i i X x W X i i ate, : populatio mea of te auxiliary variate X, Z z W Z y x : populatio mea of te auxiliary variate Z, i i yi : sample mea of te study variate for i xi : sample mea of te auxiliary variate X for i t stratum, t stratum,

We te study variate ad te auxiliary variate Z are egatively correlated, assumig tat te populatio mea Z of auxiliary variate Z is kow, combied product estimator is defied as PC z Z.

Table exibits tat te proposed estimator ST RP as igest percet relative efficiecy i compariso to y st, RC ad PC. Terefore, it is cocluded tat proposed estimator ST RP is more efficiet ta y st, RC ad PC provided tat coditios (6), (7) ad (8) are satisfied Table 3 sows tat i case of proportioal allocatio, te proposed estimator as igest percet relative efficiecy i compariso to oter cosidered estimators i bot populatios.
