Abstrakt: Design-based and design-based model-assisted estimator of total for a variable having many zero values has high variance. The censored regression (tobit) model-based estimators of a finite-population total have been proposed earlier. The aim of the current research is to apply the semiparametric model to a variable with many zero values, to estimate the population total by model-based and model-assisted estimators, and to compare them with other known estimators by simulation.
