In this dissertation, a class of Hartley Ross type unbiased estimators is proposed for estimation of finite population mean under adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. Hartley Ross type unbiased estimator is also proposed utilizing two auxiliary variables. These estimators employ information on known parameters of the auxiliary variable. The variances of proposed class of unbiased estimators are obtained up to first degree of approximation. Computations related to proposed estimators are illustrated via numerical example. Proposed estimators are more efficient than the usual mean estimator, ratio and modified ratio estimators in adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling under certain realistic conditions. Exponential-ratio-type and difference-type estimators are propounded for general parameter in adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. The proposed estimators coherently utilize information on two auxiliary variables in three different situations i-e. none, partial and full information about population parameters of auxiliary variables. The proposed estimators for general parameter can be used to estimate the population mean, population coefficient of variation, population standard deviation and population variance of the variable of interest. Proposed estimators are also presented to be used with multi auxiliary variables. Difference-type estimators are recommended for estimation of population coefficient of variation under adaptive cluster sampling. Proposed estimators utilize mean, ranks and coefficient of variation of auxiliary variables. Difference-type and difference-cum-exponential-ratio-type estimators are presented utilizing two auxiliary variables for estimation of general parameter under adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. These estimators utilize auxiliary information in terms of ranks, variances and means of auxiliary variables. Such estimators are generalized for multi auxiliary variables. xviii Generalized ratio-type and ratio-exponential-type estimators are proposed for population mean under adaptive cluster sampling based on modified Horvitz-Thompson estimator. The proposed estimators utilize auxiliary information in combination of conventional measures (coefficient of skewness, coefficient of variation, correlation coefficient, covariance, coefficient of kurtosis) and robust measures (tri-mean, Hodges-Lehmann, mid-range) to increase efficiency. Finally, three new sampling schemes are proposed to select initial sample in adaptive cluster sampling. These schemes are proposed adopting, ranked set sampling to increase precision of estimates. Usual Hansen-Hurwitz and Horvitz-Thompson estimators for population mean under adaptive cluster sampling are modified for employment under the proposed schemes. Procedures related to the proposed schemes are also illustrated with the help of examples. Expressions for bias and mean square error of proposed estimators are derived using first order of approximation. Empirical and simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the proposed estimators. Behaviors of existing and proposed estimators are analyzed for several initial sample sizes and at different levels of correlation between study and auxiliary variables. Comparisons of existing and proposed estimators are also illustrated. The results reveal that whenever the efficiency conditions are fulfilled, proposed estimators performed more efficiently than competing estimators for estimation of population mean, population variance and population coefficient of variation. The proposed estimators are found to be more efficient under both adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. The sampling schemes which are recommended by adopting ranked set sampling are found to be more efficient than adaptive cluster sampling when initial sample is drawn by simple random sampling without replacement.

لائبریری کی اہمیّت

لائبریری کی اہمیّت
ہم نشینی اگر کتاب سے ہو
اس سے بہتر کوئی رفیق نہیں
لائبریری سے مراد کتب خانہ ہے۔ لائبریری کی اہمیت سے مراداس چیز کی اہمیت نہیں کہ اس کی بلڈنگ کا خام مال بہت اچھا ہے، اس کے گردونواح اور مضافات کے باسی بہت اچھے ہیں۔ اس کے افتتاح کرنے والے کا کردار بہت اچھا ہے، اس کو بنانے والے کا کاروبار بہت اچھا ہے، اس حسین وجمیل بلڈنگ کو تعمیر کرنے والا معمار بہت اچھا ہے۔ لائبریری کی اہمیت سے مراد اس کے اندر جو کتب ہیں ان کا مطالعہ کتنی اہمیت کا حامل ہے، اس کے مطالعہ سے نوجوان کو کتنا فائدہ پہنچتا ہے، اس کے مطالعہ سے بوڑھے قاری کو کیا فائدہ پہنچتا ہے۔ اس کا مطالعہ معاشرے پر کیا اثرات مرتّب کرتا ہے۔
لائبریری کا وجود خواہ وہ سکول لائبریری ہو، خواہ وہ پبلک لائبریری ہو ،خواہ وہ ذاتی لائبریری ہو ملک و قوم کی تعمیر و ترقی میں انتہائی ضروری ہے۔ اساتذہ اور طلباء کے لیے کتب خانہ کی کتابوں کا مطالعہ انتہائی ناگزیر ہے، اسا تذہ کونئی تحقیقات سے بہرہ ور ہونے کا موقع میسر آتا ہے اور طلباء بھی اپنی نصابی اور غیر نصابی معلومات میں اضافہ کرتے ہیں۔ چنانچہ ہرتعلیمی ادارے میں معیاری لائبریری کا وجودضروری ہے۔ اس کے بغیر وہ ادارہ ایسا ہے جیسانخلستان چشمے کے بغیر یا ایک گھر پانی کے بغیر ،لائبریری گویا ایک چشمہ ہے جس کے آب زلال سے تشنگانِ علم و دانش اپنی پیاس بجھاتے ہیں۔
تاریخ کی ورق گردانی کریں تو یہ بات روزِ روشن کی طرح عیاں ہوتی ہے کہ مسلمانوں کو کتب بینی و مطالعہ میں ہمیشہ ایک امتیازی مقام حاصل رہا ہے۔ اسلام کے زمانۂ عروج میں مسلمان اُمراء میں لائبریری کا اہم مقابلہ ہوتا تھا۔ جس شخص کے پاس جتنا بڑا کتب خانہ...

نبی کریم ﷺ کا مہنج اصلاحی مکی دور کے تناظر میں

Before the prophecy of Prophet (S. A. W) the overall state of Arabs was so spoilt that even it was impossible for pedagogue and rectifier to show them the right path because it was not merely the matter of rectification of faith or preaching of right path neither to make them get rid of false beliefs nor to ameliorate the society. For the fulfilment of such type of rectification the preachers and guides are always there in the society and the reparation continues or carries on. The real muddle was to eliminate the arrogance and detrimental idolism which was so incessant generation to generation in the long run that the preaching and teaching of Prophet and the endeavor of guides were ineffective for them. It was the need of time to establish such type of shelter in which people of world could refuge in it. The remedy of this issue to bring into existence such type of human who was entirely different from the primitive human being. So Holy prophet (S. A. W) came as reformist. There are many golden aspects of prophet’s (S. A. W) reformation in a society, Makk฀ life is also one of them. It is not only changed and revolutionized the whole of the human history but also changed political, social and moral scenario of world. Methodology which our Holy prophet adopted it was the first Methodology that respected and valued human wisdom along with being on right path. In this article the same view point has been discussed. The following are the main points: 1. Preacher’s conformity in words and deeds. 2. Clear mandate to set the target. 3. Perseverance to achieve the set goal. 4. The best policy for the betterment of society. 5. The key points for the leadership.

Mean Estimation in Adaptive Cluster Sampling Using Auxiliary Information

In this dissertation, generalized simple and exponential type estimators have been developed using the information of single and two auxiliary variables for the estimation of rare and clustered population mean in adaptive cluster sampling designs. The proposed estimators are specifically developed for different situations of clustered populations in simple adaptive cluster sampling, stratified adaptive cluster sampling and systematic adaptive cluster sampling designs. In Chapter 1, the discussion has been made about the situations of rare and clustered population in which the conventional sampling designs may not be appropriate in order to achieve even moderate precision. The use of adaptive cluster sampling design along with the process in the presence of auxiliary information is also discussed. Comparison of adaptive cluster sampling with conventional sampling design and some advantages and disadvantages has also been given. Furthermore, stratified adaptive cluster sampling and systematic adaptive cluster sampling has been illustrated in the same Chapter with the detail sampling process. In Chapter 2, the literature regarding the use of auxiliary information in conventional sampling designs, adaptive cluster sampling, stratified adaptive cluster sampling and systematic adaptive cluster sampling have been discussed whereas Chapter 3 contains some basic estimators that already developed in conventional sampling designs, adaptive cluster sampling, stratified adaptive cluster sampling and systematic adaptive cluster sampling designs. The major contribution of this dissertation appears from Chapter 4 by proposing modified ratio and regression-cum-modified ratio estimators using the information of single auxiliary variable in adaptive cluster sampling by utilizing the average values of the networks with simple random sampling without replacement. The expressions of approximate bias and mean square error for the proposed estimators have been derived. The generalized form for the proposed estimators has been suggested by introduction the unknown constants. The expressions of approximate bias and mean square error have been derived for the generalized form and optimum properties have been discussed. Many conventional and non-conventional parameters of the auxiliary variable have been used as special cases of the proposed estimators. The efficiency issues in adaptive cluster sampling have also been discussed. Theoretical comparisons have been made of the proposed estimators with existing estimators. An extensive numerical study is conducted by using real and artificial population data sets for all the estimators to evaluate their performance. In Chapter 5, weighted exponential ratio-product type estimator have been developed using single auxiliary variable in adaptive cluster sampling for the situations in which the relationship between the survey variable and the auxiliary variable is non-linear. The expressions of approximate bias and mean square error have been derived. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator with existing exponential type estimators. In Chapter 6, a generalized semi-exponential type estimator has been suggested based on two auxiliary variables in adaptive cluster sampling. Some exponential and non-exponential type estimators have been discussed, as the special cases of the proposed estimator. The expressions of estimated bias and minimum mean square error have been derived. A simulation study is conducted on simulated populations generated by Poisson cluster process and Ecodist Package in R, to examining the performance of proposed estimator in adaptive cluster sampling design. In Chapter 7, modified ratio and regression-cum-modified ratio estimators have been developed using the information of single auxiliary variable in stratified adaptive cluster sampling. The generalized form for the proposed estimators has been suggested by introduction the unknown constants. The expressions of approximate bias and mean square error have been derived and optimum properties have been discussed. Theoretical comparisons have been made of the proposed estimators with existing estimators. An extensive numerical study is conducted by using real and artificial population data sets for all the estimators to evaluate their performance. In Chapter 8, a generalized semi-exponential type estimator has been suggested based on two auxiliary variables by utilizing the average values of the networks in stratified adaptive cluster sampling. Some exponential and nonexponential type estimators have been discussed, as the special cases of the proposed estimator. The expressions of approximate bias and minimum mean square error have also been derived. A simulation study is conducted using the simulated populations generated by Poisson cluster process at different level of rarity and aggregation to examining the performance of proposed estimator in stratified adaptive cluster sampling design. In Chapter 9, modified ratio and regression-cum-modified ratio estimators have been developed using the information of single auxiliary variable in systematic adaptive cluster sampling. The generalized form for the proposed estimators has been suggested by introducing the unknown constants. The expressions of approximate bias and mean square error have been derived and optimum properties have been discussed. Theoretical comparison has been made of the proposed estimators with existing estimators. A numerical study is conducted by using artificial population data sets taken from Thompson (2012) for all the estimators to evaluate their performance.
