Abstract
In this study, Mixture Regression Estimators for single phase sampling under stratified random sampling have been proposed, by incorporating the simultaneous use of information on auxiliary variables and attributes. The estimators have been proposed for three different cases and their mean square errors have been derived mathematically. A Simulation study has been done by using simulated data, to check the distribution of proposed estimators. This study shows that proposed estimators, seems to follow the normal distribution. An empirical study has also been done by considering two natural data sets. Mean square errors (MSE’s) for the proposed estimators have also been computed and Efficiency comparisons made with single phase mixture regression estimators proposed by Moeen et al. (2012). On the basis of MSE’s computed through simulation and empirical studies, it is to be concluded that proposed estimators are more efficient than that of estimators proposed by Moeen et al. (2012) for simple random sampling.
