The Population Mean Estimators by using Judgment Post Stratification in Stratified Sampling

Judgment post-stratification is a method of using additional information of ranking in the simple random sampling, to increase the efficiency of the estimators of population parameters. In this paper, we use judgment post-stratification instead of simple random sampling in stratums of stratified sampling, and present new estimators for population mean. Then, we compare the proposed estimators with random stratified mean estimator by using a simulation study. The simulation results show that the proposed estimators perform better than the random stratified mean estimator in most of the cases.
