Abstract

In this paper, two methods of estimation using estimators for stratified random sample are suggested. Two estimators are suggested for a positively correlated auxiliary variable and the other two are suggested for a negatively correlated auxiliary variable. These estimators are suggested as they are complementary to the separate and combined ratio estimators. These estimators are useful when the separate and combined ratio estimators are not efficient.
