Abstract

This article presents a new set of estimators designed to estimate the finite population variance of a study variable in two-phase sampling. These estimators utilize the information about extreme values and ranks of an auxiliary variable. Through a first-order approximation, we investigate the properties of these estimators, including biases and mean squared errors (MSEs). Furthermore, a comprehensive simulation study is conducted to assess their performance and validate our theoretical insights. Results demonstrate that our proposed class of estimators performs better in terms of percent relative efficiency (PRE) across various simulation scenarios compared to existing estimators. In addition, in the application section, we utilize three data sets to further validate the performance of our proposed estimators against conventional unbiased variance estimators, ratio and regression estimators, as well as other existing methods.
