Abstract

This paper proposes new
exponential estimators combining ratio estimators for estimate population mean of study variable using information
about population proportion possessing certain attributes. It is obtained mean
square error (MSE) equations for all proposed ratio exponential estimators and is
shown that all proposed exponential estimators are always more efficient than
the ratio estimators. In addition, these results are supported by an
application with original data sets.  

Keywords
