Abstract

In this study, we propose exponential ratio estimators in the stratified two-phase sampling utilizing an auxiliary attribute. The expressions for the mean squared error of these exponential-type estimators under two different cases are derived and theoretical comparisons are made with competing estimators. We show that the proposed estimators have a lower mean square error than the simple mean estimator, usual stratified two-phase sampling ratio, and product estimators, usual exponential ratio and product estimators for the stratified two-phase sampling under the obtained conditions in theory. In addition, these theoretical results are supported with the aid of a numerical example.
