Abstract: Using the calibration approach, the Hansen and Hurwitz (1946) technique-based estimator is developed for the situation where the information on auxiliary variable is assumed known for the entire population units. The double-sampling case has also been dealt with. Expressions for the estimator of population total, its variance, and variance estimator are developed. The theoretical results are illustrated with the help of simulation studies. Simulation results show that the proposed calibration approach-based estimator outperforms the Hansen and Hurwitz estimator.
