Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new chain product-type estimator which is complementary in certain sense to the chain ratio estimator proposed by Chand (1975). Asymptotic formulae for the bias and mean squared error have been derived. It is shown that the proposed estimator is always more efficient than Chand's (1975) estimator.
