SHABBIR, JAVID  and  GUPTA, SAT. A Note on Generalized Exponential Type Estimator for Population Variance in Survey Sampling. Rev.Colomb.Estad. [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.2, pp.385-397. ISSN 0120-1751.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rce.v38n2.51667.

Recently a new generalized estimator for population variance using information on the auxiliary variable has been introduced by Asghar et al. (2014). In that paper there was some inaccuracy in the bias and MSE expressions. In this paper, we provide the correct expressions for bias and MSE of the Asghar et al. (2014) estimator, up to the first order of approximation. We also propose a new generalized exponential type estimator for population variance which performs better than the existing estimators. Four data sets are used for numerical comparison of efficiencies.

Keywords : Auxiliary Variable; Bias; Efficiency; Mean Square Error; \linebreak Variance.
