Abstract :
This paper suggests a class of regression-type estimators of a finite population mean incorporating auxiliary information on two variables at estimation stage in two-phase sampling. This class of estimators includes many known estimators. Up to the first order of approximation the mean square error (MSE) and optimal MSE are obtained and compared with the MSEs of the estimators included in this paper. Also, an empirical comparison is carried out using a Monte Carlo simulation over three natural populations.

Key-Words / Index Term :
