On some efficient classes of estimators using auxiliary attribute

Summary/Abstract: This paper considers some efficient classes of estimators for the estimation of population mean using known population proportion. The usual mean estimator, classical ratio, and regression estimators suggested by Naik and Gupta (1996) and Abd-Elfattah et al. (2010) estimators are identified as the members of the suggested class of estimators. The expressions of bias and mean square errors are derived up to first-order approximation. The proposed estimators were put to test against various other competing estimators till date. It has been found both theoretically and empirically that the suggested classes of estimators dominate the existing estimators.
