Abstract

This paper considers the problem of estimating the finite population mean by making the use of auxiliary information in presence of non-response. Generalized class of estimators for population mean has been proposed with their bias and mean square error. The minimum value of mean square error of proposed class of estimator has been given. Comparisons have been made with the relevant estimators. An illustration has been given to show the results with an application of using original data.
