A Class of Estimators for Estimation of Population Mean Under Random Non-response in Two Phase Successive Sampling

This paper presents some efficient classes of estimators of population mean on current occasion in the presence of random non-response under a two-phase successive sampling set-up. The suggested classes of estimators are proposed for simple random sampling under various situations of non-response. The properties of proposed estimators have been discussed up to first order of approximation. The efficiency of the presented estimators has been contrasted with the estimators for the complete response scenarios. Two real and two artificially generated data sets are used. The efficacy of the proposed classes of estimators over the existing estimators is checked theoretically and empirically. The numerical comparison supports the proposed estimators.
