This paper proposed an improved generalized class of estimator for estimating population variance using auxiliary variables based on simple random sampling without replacement. The expression of mean square error of the proposed estimator is obtained up to the first order of approximation. We have derived the conditions for the parameters under which the proposed estimator performs better compared to the usual estimator and other existing estimators. An empirical study and simulation study are also carried out with the support of theoretical results.

Improved Estimation of Population Variance Utilizing Known Auxiliary Parameters
Scholars Journal of Physics, Mathematics and Statistics
Even similar things, whether created artificially or naturally, can vary. We should therefore try to estimate this variation. For improved population variance estimate, we propose a Searls ratio type estimator in the current research employing data on the tri-mean and the third quartile of the auxiliary variable. Up to the first-degree approximation, the suggested estimator's bias and mean squared error (MSE) are determined. The characterising scalar's ideal value is discovered, and given this ideal value, the least MSE is discovered. The mean squared errors of the suggested estimator and the competing estimators are contrasted conceptually and experimentally. Given that it has the lowest MSE of the above competing estimators, the recommended estimator has been shown to be the most effective.

NEW EFFICIENT CLASS OF ESTIMATORS FOR THE POPULATION VARIANCE
In the present manuscript, we have proposed a new efficient class of estimators for the population variance of the study variable using information on the auxiliary variable. The expressions for bias and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed estimator are obtained up to the first order of approximation. An optimum estimator for the proposed estimator is also obtained and its optimum properties are studied. It is shown that the proposed estimator is more efficient than sample variance, traditional ratio estimator due to Isaki (1983), Singh et al. (2011) exponential ratio estimator, estimator based on Kadilar and Cingi (2003) ratio estimator for the population mean etc. estimators under optimum conditions. For illustration, an empirical study is also carried out.

Journal of Statistical Theory and Practice, 2013
In this article, we suggest a general procedure for estimating the population variance through a class of estimators. The bias and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed class of estimators are obtained to the first degree of approximation. The proposed class of estimators is more efficient than many other estimators, such as the usual variance estimator, ratio estimator, the Bahal and Tuteja (1991) exponential estimator, the traditional regression estimator, the Rao (1991) estimator, the Upadhyaya and Singh (1999) estimator, and the estimators. Four data sets are used for numerical comparison.
A general family of estimators for estimating the population variance of the variable under study, which make use of known value of certain population parameter(s), is proposed. Some well known estimators have been shown as particular member of this family. It has been shown that the suggested estimator is better than the usual unbiased estimator, Isaki's (1983) ratio estimator, Upadhyaya and Singh's (1999) estimator and Kadilar and Cingi (2006). An empirical study is carried out to illustrate the performance of the constructed estimator over others.

In this study, using the Simple Random Sampling without Replacement (SRSWOR) method, we propose a generalized estimator of population variance of the primary variable. Up to the first order of approximation, the bias and Mean Squared Error (MSE) expressions for the suggested estimator are produced. The suggested estimator's characterizing scalar is optimized, and for this optimal value of the characterizing constant, the suggested estimator's least MSE is also determined. The efficiency criteria of the suggested estimator over the other estimators are determined after a theoretical comparison of the proposed estimator with the other population variance estimators that already exist. Several actual natural populations are used to validate these efficiency parameters. For practical use in various application domains, the estimator with the lowest MSE and the best Percentage Relative Efficiency (PRE) is advised.
