An Empirical Study on the Accuracy of Ratio and Regression Estimators in the Presence of Measurement Errors

Keywords: Auxiliary variable, bias, mean square error, measurement error, simple random sampling

When the survey data are equipped with measurement errors, the essential properties of the estimates are adversely affected. In this paper, we undertake a small-scale simulation study to examine the magnitude of imprecision introduced in the ratio and regression methods of estimation if the auxiliary variable is contaminated with measurement errors.
