In this article, we suggest a new ratio estimator in stratified random sampling based on the Prasad (1989 Prasad , B. ( 1989 ). Some improved ratio type estimators of population mean and ratio in finite population sample surveys . Commun. Statist. Theor. Meth. 18 ( 1 ): 379 – 392 .[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) estimator. Theoretically, we obtain the mean square error (MSE) for this estimator and compare it with the MSE of traditional combined ratio estimate. By this comparison, we demonstrate that proposed estimator is more efficient than combined ratio estimate in all conditions. In addition, this theoretical result is supported by a numerical example.
