Memory Type Ratio and Product Estimators in Stratified Sampling

The exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic is utilized the past information along with the present to enhance the efficiency of the estimators of the population parameters. In this study, the EWMA statistic is used to estimate the population mean with auxiliary information. The memory type ratio and product estimators are proposed under stratified sampling (StS). Mean square errors (MSE) expressions and relative efficiencies of the proposed estimators are derived. An extensive simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimators. An empirical study is presented based on real-life data that supports the findings of the simulation study.
