REGRESSION TYPE ESTIMATORS FOR RANDOM NON-RESPONSE IN SURVEY SAMPLING

Abstract

In this paper, three regression type estimators are suggested for the estimation of finite population mean in two situations of random non-response considered by Tracy and Osahan (1994). The results obtained under the assumption that the number of sampling units on which information could not be obtained due to random non-response follows some distribution. Some suggestions are given for the estimation of the mean square error of the estimators proposed.
