Some Efficient Estimation Procedures under Non-Response in Two-Occasion Successive Sampling

Abstract

This paper deals with the estimation of current population mean under non-response in two-occasion successive sampling. Information on a dynamic auxiliary variable has been used and efficient estimation procedures have been suggested which are capable in minimizing the negative impact of non-response when it occurred on current occasion in two-occasion successive sampling. Properties of the proposed estimation procedures have been studied and suitable recommendations are made.
