It is well recognized that the use of auxiliary information in sample survey design results in efficient estimators of population parameters under some realistic conditions. Out of many ratio, product and regression methods of estimation are good examples in this context. Using the knowledge of kurtosis of an auxiliary variable Upadhyaya and Singh (1999) has suggested an estimator for population variance. In this paper, following the approach of Singh and Singh (1993), we have suggested almost unbiased ratio and product-type estimators for population variance.
