Abstract

Centered modified systematic sampling (CMSS)' was proposed by Kim(1985) for estimating the mean of a population with a linear trend. In the present paper a version of this sampling method is suggested. This version turns out to be efficient in the same degree as the original method from the viewpoint of the expected mean square error criterion. It is also shown to be quite an efficient method as compared with other existing methods. An illustrative example is given.
