Median Estimation in the Presence of Auxiliary Information
利用辅助信息估计有限总体中位数
SUMMARY This paper deals with the estimation, under simple random sampling, of a finite population median in the presence of an auxiliary variable. An estimator which is a simple modification of the ratio estimator for the mean is studied along with two other proposed estimators derived from a different approach. These estimators are applicable in situations where only the population median or a grouped frequency distribution of the auxiliary variable is known. On the basis…
