Abstract

The present paper provides alternative improved Factor-Type (F-T) estimators of population mean in presence of item non-response for the practitioners. The proposed estimators have been shown to be more efficient than the four existing estimators which are more efficient than the usual ratio and the mean estimators. Optimum conditions for minimum mean squared error are obtained for the new estimators. Empirical comparisons based on three different data sets establish that the proposed estimators record least mean squared error and hence a substantial gain in Percentage Relative Efficiency (P.R.E.), over these five contemporary estimators.
