摘要

This study aims to refine population mean estimation in stratified sampling by incorporating post-stratification techniques. We propose a new estimator within a stratified random sampling framework that integrates two study variables and two auxiliary variables, enhancing the accuracy of survey estimates. The performance of the proposed estimator is assessed using mean squared error (MSE) and percentage relative efficiency (PRE), demonstrating its superiority over existing estimators. Additionally, Cramer’s Rule is applied to determine optimal estimator values, ensuring computational efficiency. This study includes an empirical analysis, specifically a case study based on biological data. Both theoretical derivations and empirical validations confirm the estimator’s effectiveness, underscoring its practical significance in survey sampling. This advancement provides a robust and efficient approach to improving population mean estimation, making it a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners in sampling theory and applications.
