Abstract (Summary of the Work)

The work Presented here had originated from a pioneering paper by Basu1 and is essentially an extension of his ideas to different problem in sample surveys. The whole word mainly consists in deriving estimators uniformly better than those usually adopted in with replacement schemes.in with replacement sampling schemes, the 'order-statistic' (distinct sample unite arranged in an ascending order of their unit-indices) forms a sufficient statistic. Therefore, if any estimator (e.g., say of the population man) does not depend on the 'order-statistic', it can be uniformly improved by the use of the Rao-blalckwell theorem. The author has not hesitated to use this powerful theorem to derive improved estimators- It T is a sufficient statistic, for any convex (downwards_ lose function, an estimator uniformly better than g(S) (where g(S) is some estimator based on the sample S) is given by E[g(S)1T]=S>ΣT g(S) p(S)/ S>Σ T p(S)The whole theais ie divided into eight chapter and two ppendioen.
