Abstract:
A new estimator of population total has been developed following the method of Murthy (1957) and the Durbin (1967) selection procedure. Efficiency of the new estimator has been compared with various existing estimators for a sample of size 2. Design-based and Model-based variance have been also derived. Model based variance achieved the Godambe-Joshi lower bound.
