Popis: This study considered modification of combined ratio type calibration estimators in stratified random sampling using calibration estimation approaches. The estimators of population mean in stratified random sampling depends on the strata estimated sample means. However, the means are sensitive to the extreme values or outliers in the sample observations of the study variables and strata sizes respectively. A new sets of calibration weights and property of the suggested combined calibration estimators of population mean in stratified sampling were derived. Empirical study through simulation was conducted to investigate the efficiency of the modified combined ratio-type calibration estimators of population mean obtained and the results revealed that the suggested estimators of population mean performed better than some existing estimators considered in the study.
