Estimation of mean in presence of non-response using two phase sampling scheme. (English) Zbl 1247.62027

Summary: We consider the problem of estimating the population mean using information on an auxiliary variable in presence of non-response. Some modified ratio, product and regression estimators in double sampling have been suggested and their properties are studied. It is shown that to the first degree of approximation, estimators based on estimated optimum values have the same variance as that of the optimum estimators. An empirical study is carried to judge the merits of the suggested estimators over conventional unbiased estimator and other known estimators. Both theoretical and empirical study results present the soundness and usefulness of the suggested estimators in practice.
