✦ Synopsis
The performance of alternative biased estimators of population total in probability proportional to size sampling schemes is studied when the study variable has weak relationship with the size variable. A variety of natural populations are considered to study the performance of these estimators empirically that present useful comparisons among the alternative estimators available at present. It may help the survey practitioners/users to choose the suitable estimator among the class of alternative estimators.
