Abstract
In this paper, we study and compare the performance of three two-stage sampling regression estimators, viz., classical, chain and predictive regression estimators considered in the survey sampling literature under a two-phase sampling set-up. The study leads to a conclusion that the chain regression estimator has a better performance than others. Numerical studies have also been reported for illustration.
