Abstract

A large number of unequal probability sampling estimators are available in literature. Theoretical comparison of available unequal probability sampling estimators is a hard task and so various survey statisticians have performed empirical studies from time to time. These empirical comparisons have been done by using available populations from literature on survey sampling. The aim of this study is to perform the simulation study of various popular unequal probability sampling estimators. This simulation study has been conducted by generating various populations with given correlation structure. The study attempt to obtain a minimum variance estimator in unequal probability sampling for population with specific correlation structure.
