Some classes of estimators in the presence of non-response using auxiliary attribute

摘要

In this paper, possible solutions of problem of non-response in the variable of interest are proposed when information about an auxiliary attribute is available. By taking motivation from the previous work, modified classes have been suggested for estimating population mean. Two new generalized classes of estimators are presented along with their asymptotic biases and variances. Efficacy analysis of the suggested classes is acquired with the usual regression estimator. Two real examples have been provided to show the efficiency of the proposed design approach and comparison of suggested estimators with the linear regression estimator.
