Abstract
A class of ratio and regression type estimators is given such that the estimators are unbiased for random sampling, without replacement, from a finite population. Non-negative, unbiased estimators of estimator variance are provided for a subclass. Similar results are given for the case of generalized procedures of sampling without replacement. Efficiency is compared with comparable sample selection and estimation methods for this case.Keywords
