Özet:

The present work deals with the problem of estimation of finite population median at current occasion, in two occasion successive (rotation) sampling. A class of estimators has been proposed for the estimation of population median at current occasion, which includes many existing estimators as a particular case. Asymptotic properties including the asymptotic convergence of proposed class of estimators are elaborated. Optimum replacement strategies are also discussed. The proposed class of estimators at optimum condition is compared with the sample median estimator when there is no matching from the previous occasion as well as with some other members of the class. Theoretical results have been justified through empirical interpretation with the help of some natural populations.
