Estimation of the Ratio, Product and Mean Using Multi Auxiliary Variables in the Presence of Non-Response

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the population ratio, product and mean using multi auxiliary information in presence of non-response. Some classes of estimators have been proposed with their properties. Asymptotic optimum estimator(s) in the class(s) have been investigated along with their mean squared error formulae. Further the optimum value (depending upon population parameters) when replaced from sample values gives the estimators having the mean squared errors of the asymptotic optimum estimators. An empirical study is carried out in the support of the present study. Both theoretical and empirical findings are encouraging and in favour of the present study.
