Modified estimators of finite population distribution function based on dual use of auxiliary information under stratified random sampling

Sumario:In survey sampling, information on auxiliary variables related to the main variable is often available in many practical problems. Since the mid-twentieth century, researchers have taken a keen interest in the use of auxiliary information due to its usefulness in estimation methods. The current study presents two new estimators for the distribution function of a finite population based on dual auxiliary variables. The new estimators can be used in situations where the researchers face some sort of complex data set. The mathematical equations for the bias and mean square error have been obtained for each proposed estimator. Besides, an empirical study simulation study has also been conducted to analyse the performance of estimators. It is found that the new suggested estimators of the distribution function of a finite population are more accurate than some of the existing estimators.
