Modified Ratio Estimator of Finite Population Total in Stratified Random Sampling Under Non-Response

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a separate ratio-type estimator of finite population total. The procedure of subsampling non-respondents suggested by Hansen and Hurwitz (1946) is considered. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator are studied under stratified random sampling. Study of the asymptotic properties shows that the suggested estimator is unbiased and consistent. We recommend that simulation study should be done to check for performance of the estimator.
