Abstract

This paper introduces a new family of exponential ratio estimators of population variance in stratified random sampling and studies its properties. Based on Bahl & Tuteja [1], Kadillar & Cingi [2] and Solanki et al. [3], membership of the new family of estimators is identified. Analytical and numerical results show that under certain prescribed conditions, the new estimator has equal optimal efficiency with the regression estimator of population variance but always fares better than the classical ratio estimator of population variance by Isaki [4] and every identified existing estimator of its family.
