On improving Horvitz–Thompson method of estimation through location shifts under midzuno–sen scheme of samplingKeywords: Inclusion probability , joint inclusion probability , Midzuno-Sen scheme of sampling , πps sampling , super population model. Abstract: Considering suitable transformations of survey and size variables, an attempt has been made to improve upon the Horvitz-Thompson estimator through Midzuno-Sen scheme of sampling. Analytical as well as numerical studies have been undertaken in order to examine the properties of the suggested sampling methodology.
