ABSTRACT
A problem of the ratio-type estimators in Stratified Sampling is the use of non-attribute auxiliary information. In this study, some ratio-type estimators in stratified random sampling using attribute as auxiliary information are proposed. The sample mean of study variable and proportion of auxiliary attribute were transformed linearly and using auxiliary parameters respectively. Biases and mean square errors (MSE) for these estimators were derived. The MSE of these estimators were compared with the MSE of the traditional combined ratio estimator. The results show that the proposed estimators are more efficient and less bias than the combined ratio estimate in all conditions. An empirical study was also conducted using students height data from each faculty of the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. The results also show that the proposed estimators are more efficient and less bias than the combined ratio estimator. In addition, formulae for determination of sample sizes when the proposed estimators are adopted under various allocations (Optimum, Neyman and Proportional) for fixed cost and desired precision were obtained.
