ABSTRACT
Best linear unbiased estimators have been proposed to estimate the population mean on current occasion in two-occasion successive (rotation) sampling. Behavior of the proposed estimators have been studied and their respective optimum replacement policies are discussed. Empirical studies are carried out to examine the performance of the proposed estimators and consequently the suitable recommendations are made.
KEYWORDS
successive sampling, auxiliary information, unbiased, variance, optimum replacement policy.
