In this paper, an estimator of the finite population variance S2_y is proposed. The proposed estimator is exactly unbiased estimatorfor S2_y; further, the mean squared error (MSE) of the proposedestimator is derived. Empirical studies from real data sets are usedto compare the proposed estimator and other estimators proposed inthe literature. The proposed estimator is stable among otherfamilies and practically has minimum MSE among other estimators.
