Abstract

The present manuscript is a critical and chronological review of the ratio type estimators of population mean of the study variable using auxiliary information on a single auxiliary variable. In this paper various ratio type estimators of population mean in the literature have been given chronologically. The large sample properties that is biases and the mean squared errors of these ratio type estimators of population mean have been given up to the first order of approximation. The expressions of the bias and the mean squared error of every mentioned estimator have been given. The optimum values of the characterizing scalars have been given for the generalized type estimators having characterizing scalars and the minimum values of the mean squared errors of corresponding estimators have been obtained for these optimum values of the characterizing scalars. This work is believed to provide insightful gain in systematic manner for the researchers who are engaged in the field to explore it through serious investigation.
