Study of Yadav and Kadilar's improved exponential type ratio estimator of population variance in two-phase sampling

This paper presents a double sampling version of Yadav and Kadilar(2013) estimator alongwith its properties under large sample approximation. Cost aspect is also discussed. We have compared the proposedestimator with usual unbiased estimator and usual double samplingratio estimator and shown that the proposed estimator is better thanusual unbiased estimator and other existing estimators under some realistic conditions to two-phase sampling.
