Abstract: This article suggests an efficient class of estimators of population median of the study variable using an auxiliary variable. Asymptotic expressions of bias and mean square error of the proposed class of estimators have been obtained. Asymptotic optimum estimator has been investigated along with its approximate mean square error. We have shown that proposed class of estimator is more efficient than estimator considered by Srivastava (1967), Gross (1980), Kuk and Mak (1989) Singh et al. (2003b), Al and Chingi (2009) and Singh and Solanki (2013). In addition theoretical findings are supported by an empirical study based on two populations to show the superiority of the constructed estimators over others.
