Abstract: | In the present investigation, a general set-up for inference from survey data that covers the estimation of variance of estimators of totals and distribution functions has been considered, using known higher order moments of auxiliary information at the estimation stage. Several estimators of variance of estimators of totals and distribution functions are shown to be the special cases of the proposed strategy. An empirical study has also been given to show the performance of the proposed estimators over the existing estimators in the literature. |
