In survey sampling, auxiliary information is used to precisely estimate the finite population parameters. There are several approaches available in the literature that provide a practical method for incorporating auxiliary information during the estimation stage. In order to effectively utilize the auxiliary information, a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model-assisted integrated estimator of finite population total under a two-phase sampling design has been proposed in this article.
