INTRODUCTION

Prior knowledge about population mean along with coefficient of variation, kurtosis and correlation of the population of an auxiliary variable are known to be very useful particularly when the ratio, product and regression estimators are used for estimation of population mean of a variable of interest. The use of auxiliary information can increase the precision of an estimator when study variable is highly correlated with auxiliary variable. Srivastava...
