Improved neutrosophic exponential-ratio estimator of population mean with simple random sampling by Bhatt Ravi Jitendrakumar, Ashish Kumar, Monika Saini

“…In this paper we present a neutrosophic exponential-ratio estimator for calculating the population mean using simple random sampling. In sampling methods classical statistics always depends on exact and complete data, but when we are dealing with unclear data these all become insufficient. …”
