Estimation of finite population total using birth-and-death process in the presence of a sample frame is considered. The model based on birth-and-death process model is proposed. Like the existing estimators, this estimation technique deals with initial condition and is based on yearly population totals in order to fit in a model within a given period of time. The model is capable of showing three processes, namely, exponential growth, exponential decay and constant growth. The proposed birth-and-death process model technique has shown to be efficient especially with large data. The empirical study indicated that model is efficient and can estimate properly even in the presence of outliers
