Modified Compromized Type Method of Imputation for Estimating Population Mean

Abstract

The study proposed an alternative imputation scheme for the schemes which converged to sample mean as the values of unknown parameters in their estimators converged to zero. The estimator of the population means for the proposed scheme as well as the bias and MSE were derived. The efficiency condition under which the modified estimator is more efficient than existing ones were also presented. Empirical study using four sets of populations was conducted and the results revealed that the proposed estimator was more efficient
