ISSN Method of Estimatio i the Presece of No-respose ad Measuremet Errors Simultaeousl Rajesh Sigh Sigh Baaras Hidu Uiversit Varaasi, Idia Praas Sharma Baaras Hidu Uiversit Varaasi, Idia The problem of estimatig the fiite populatio mea of i simple radom samplig i the presece of o-respose ad respose error was cosidered. The estimators use auiliar iformatio to improve efficiec, assumig o respose ad measuremet error are preset i both the stud ad auiliar variables. A class of estimators was proposed ad its properties studied i the simultaeous presece of o-respose ad respose errors. It was show that the proposed class of estimators is more efficiet tha the usual ubiased estimator, ratio ad product estimators uder o-respose ad respose error together. A umerical stud was carried out to compare its performace. Kewords: Populatio mea, Stud variable, Auiliar variable, Mea squared error, Measuremet errors, No-respose. Itroductio Over the past several decades, statisticias were iterested i the problem of estimatig the parameters of iterest i the presece of respose error (measuremet errors). I surve samplig the properties of the estimators based o data usuall presuppose that the observatios are the correct measuremets o characteristics beig studied. However, this assumptio is ot satisfied i ma applicatios ad data is cotamiated with measuremet errors, such as reportig errors ad computig errors. These measuremet errors make the result ivalid, which are meat for o measuremet error case. If measuremet errors are ver small ad we ca eglect it, the the statistical ifereces based o observed data cotiue to remai valid. O the cotrar, whe the are ot appreciabl small ad egligible, the ifereces ma ot be simpl ivalid ad iaccurate but ma Rajesh Sigh is Assistat Professor i Departmet of Statistics. him at rsighstat@gmail.com.

4 SINGH & SHARMA ofte lead to uepected, udesirable ad ufortuate cosequeces (see Srivastava & Shalabh 00). Some importat sources of measuremet errors i surve data are discussed i Cochra (968), Shalabh (997), Sud ad Srivastva (000). Sigh ad Karpe (008, 00), Kumar, Sigh, ad Smaradache (0), Kumar, Sigh, Sawa, ad Chauha (0) ad Sharma ad Sigh (03) studied the properties of some estimators of populatio parameters uder measuremet error. Cosider a fiite populatio U = (U, U,..., U N ) of N uits. Let Y ad X be the stud variate ad auiliar variate, respectivel. Suppose that we have a set of paired observatios obtaied through simple radom samplig procedure o two characteristics X ad Y. Further it is assumed that i ad i for the i th samplig uits are observed with measuremet error istead of their true values (X i, Y i ). For a simple radom samplig scheme, let ( i, i ) be observed values istead of the true values (X i, Y i ) for i th (i =.,, ) uit, as ui i Yi () vi i Xi () where u i ad v i are associated measuremet errors which are stochastic i ature with mea zero ad variaces ad respectivel. Further, let the u i s ad u, v v i s are ucorrelated although X i s ad Y i s are correlated. Let the populatio meas of X ad Y characteristics be μ ad μ, populatio variaces of (, ) be (, ) ad let ρ be the populatio correlatio coefficiet betwee ad respectivel (see Maisha ad Sigh 00). I sample surves, the problem of o-respose is commo ad is more widespread i mail surves tha i persoal iterviews. The usual approach to overcome o-respose problem is to cotact the o-respodet ad obtai the iformatio as much as possible. Hase ad Hurwitz (946) were the first to deal with the problem of o-respose. The proposed a samplig scheme that ivolves takig a subsample of o-respods after the first mail attempt ad the obtai the iformatio b persoal iterview. For a fiite populatio U = {U, U,, U N } of size N ad a radom sample of size is draw without replacemet. Let the characteristics uder stud, sa, takes value i o the uit U i (I =,,, N). I surve o huma populatio it is ofte the case that uit respod o the first attempt while (= - ) uits do ot provide a respose. I the case of o-respose of at iitial stage Hase 08

5 ESTIMATION WITH NON-RESPONSE AND MEASUREMENT ERRORS ad Hurwitz (946) suggested a double samplig pla for estimatig the populatio mea comprisig the followig steps: i. A simple radom sample of size is draw ad the questioaire is mailed to the sample uits; ii. A sub-sample of size r = ( / k), (k > ) from the o respodig uits i the iitial step attempt is cotacted through persoal iterviews. Note that Hase ad Hurwitz (946) cosidered the mail surves at the first attempt ad the persoal iterviews at the secod attempt. I the Hase ad Hurwitz method the populatio is supposed to be cosistig of respose stratum of size N ad the o-respose stratum of size N = (N - N ). Let ad S Y N N Y i N i N i deote the mea ad the populatio variace of the i stud variable. Let N ad S Y N Y N i i mea ad variace of respose group. Similarl, let N i N i deote the i N Y N i i S i Y N deote the mea ad variace of the o-respose group. The populatio mea ca be writte as Y WY WY, where W = (N / N) ad W = (N / N). The sample mea for Y, but has a bias equal to W Y Y The sample mea r r i i i i ad is a ubiased i estimatig the populatio mea Y. r is ubiased for the mea for the uits. Hase ad Hurwitz (946) suggested a ubiased estimator for the populatio mea Y is give b w w. r Where w = ( / ) ad w = ( / ) are respodig ad o-respodig proportios i the sample. The variace of is give b f W k V S S ; where f = ( / N). 09

6 SINGH & SHARMA I the samplig literature, it is kow that efficiec of the estimator of populatio mea of a stud variable ca be icreased b the use of auiliar iformatio related to which is highl correlated with stud variable. Cochra (977) suggested the ratio ad regressio estimator of the populatio mea Y of stud variable i which iformatio o the auiliar variable is obtaied from all sample uits, ad the populatio mea of auiliar variable is kow, while some uits do ot provide a iformatio o stud variable. Rao (986), Khare ad Srivastava (995,997), Okafor ad Lee (000) ad Sigh ad Kumar (008, 009, 00) have suggested some estimator for populatio mea of the stud variable usig auiliar iformatio i presece of o-respose. Let i, (i =,,, N) deote a auiliar characteristics correlated with the stud variable i, (i =,,, N) the populatio mea of auiliar variable is N i. Let i X N o-respose groups. Let X ad X deote the populatio meas of the respose ad r deote the,, r i i r i i i i meas of the respodig uits, o-respodig uits, ad r = ( / k) subsampled uits respectivel. I this paper we have merged two major cocepts for improvemet of estimatio techiques that is cosideratio of measuremet error ad o-respose i the estimatio procedure ad proposed a class of estimators. Notatios Let, i, be the ubiased estimator of populatio meas X i i i ad Y, respectivel but s i ad s i ubiased estimator of (, ), respectivel.

There ma be a case whe ratio estimator is poor tha sample mea uder the cosideratio of a measuremet error. It is observed from Table that the performace of our proposed estimator t p is better tha usual estimator t ad ratio estimator t r uder o-respose ad measuremet error. Further it is observed that cotributio of o-respose error is larger tha the respose error i icreasig the MSE of the estimators. 8

15 ESTIMATION WITH NON-RESPONSE AND MEASUREMENT ERRORS Coclusio A class of estimator of the populatio mea of stud variable was proposed usig auiliar iformatio. The estimators use auiliar iformatio to improve efficiecies, assumig o-respose ad measuremet error are preset i both the stud ad auiliar variables. I additio, some kow estimator of populatio mea such as usual ubiased estimator ad ratio estimator for populatio mea are foud to be members of the proposed class of estimators. The MSEs of the proposed class of estimators were obtaied up to the first order of approimatio i the simultaeous presece of o-respose ad respose error. The proposed class of estimators are advatageous i the sese that the properties of the estimators which are members of the proposed class of estimators ca be easil obtaied from the properties of the proposed class of estimators.
