  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.
