Abstract

In this Paper, we suggest a two parameter ratio-product-ratio-type exponential estimator for estimating the finite population mean in systematic sampling. The bias and mean squared error of the suggested estimator are obtained to the first degree of approximation. It has been shown that the proposed estimator is better than the usual unbiased estimator, Swain’s (1964) ratio estimator, Shukla’s (1971) product estimator and Singh et al’s (2011) estimators under some realistic conditions. An empirical study has been under taken to evaluate the performance of the suggested estimator over other existing estimators.
