We have proposed a geeral class of estimators ad the properties of the proposed estimator are examied. Theoretical coditios have bee made uder which our proposed class of estimators are superior to the existig oes. Empirical studies are carried out to assess the behaviours of the proposed class of estimators with respect to the exitig estimator. Keywords: Double samplig, study variable, auxiliary variable, bias, mea square error, o-respose 1 Itroductio It is well established fact that auxiliary iformatio i study of sample survey gives us a efficiet estimate of populatio parameters like as populatio mea or total, uder some crucial coditios. This iformatio may be used for drawig a radom sample usig simple radom samplig without replacemet (SRSWOR / SRSWR) simple radom samplig with replacemet, to stratificatio, systematic or probability proportioal to size samplig strategy or for estimatig the populatio parameter or at both purposes. Auxiliary iformatio gives us a variety of techiques by meas of ratio, product, regressio ad other methods. Icorporatig the kowledge of the auxiliary variables is very importat for the costructio of efficiet estimators for the estimatio of populatio parameters ad icreasig the efficiecy of the estimators i differet samplig desig. While coductig the sample surveys i the field of agriculture, social scieces ad medical scieces, the problem of o respose is very commo i practice. A estimate obtaied from such icomplete data may be misleadig especially whe the respodets differ from the o-respodets because the estimate ca be biased. The problem of estimatio of populatio mea usig the techique of sub samplig from o respodets was first itroduced by Hase ad Hurwitz [13]. It is well kow fact that i sample surveys precisio i estimatig the populatio mea may be icreased by usig iformatio o sigle or multiple auxiliary variables. Followig Hase ad Hurwitz [13] techique, several authors icludig Cochra [23], Rao [14,15], Khare ad Srivastava [5,6,7], Khare ad Rehma [1], Okafor ad Lee [8] ad Tabasum ad Kha [17,18] ad Sigh ad Kumar [10] have studied the problem of the estimatio procedure of populatio mea i presece of o-respose usig iformatio o auxiliary variable. Olki [12], Mohaty [19], Srivastava [21], Sigh ad Kumar [11], Khare ad Siha [4], Vishwakarma ad Sigh [9] ad others have made the extesio of the ratio method of estimatio to the case where multiple auxiliary variables are used to icrease the precisio of estimates. However, i may situatios of practical importace the problem of estimatio of populatio mea of the study variable y assumes importace whe the populatio mea of the auxiliary variable x is ot kow i presece of o-respose. I such a situatio the estimate of populatio mea of the x is furished from a large first phase sample of size draw from a populatio of uits by simple radom samplig without replacemet (SRSWOR). A smaller secod phase sample of size (i.e. < ) is draw from by SRSWOR ad the variable y uder ivestigatio is measured o it. This techique is kow as double samplig. Double samplig happes to be a powerful ad cost effective (ecoo- mical) techique for obtaiig the reliable estimate i first-phase (prelimiary) sample for the ukow Correspodig author e-mail: amod.ism01@gmail.com Natural Scieces Publishig Cor.

346 G. N. Sigh et al.: Estimatio of populatio mea i presece of... populatio parameters of the auxiliary variables. For example, Okafor ad Lee [8] ad Tabasum ad Kha [17] have metioed that the procedure of double samplig ca be applied i a household survey where the household size is used as a auxiliary variable for the estimatio of family expediture. Iformatio ca be obtaied completely o the family size, while there may be o-respose o the household expediture. I the preset paper, we have proposed a geeral class of estimators for estimatig populatio mea usig auxiliary variable with double samplig i presece of o-respose. We have obtaied the expressios for bias ad mea square errors of the proposed class of estimators for the fixed value of ad, also for the optimum values of the costats. A illustratio of the proposed class of estimators has bee made with the relevat class of estimators. 2 Notatios The double samplig i presece of o-respose samplig scheme is that, let a fiite populatio U =(U 1,U 2,,U N ) of N uits y ad x are the variables uder study ad auxiliary variable respectively with populatio meas Ȳ ad X. Let y k ad x k be the values of y ad x for the k-th (k = 1,2,,N) uit i the populatio. If the iformatio o a auxiliary variable x whose populatio mea X is kow ad highly correlated to y is readily available for all the uits of the populatio, it is well kow that regressio ad ratio type estimators of populatio mea Ȳ could be used for good performace. However, i certai practical situatios whe populatio mea X is ot kow, a priori i such case the techique of two-phase samplig is useful. If there is o-respose i the secod phase sample oe may form a estimator by utilizig the iformatio oly from the respodets or take a sub-sample of the o-respodets ad re-cotact them. We assume that at the first phase sample of size, all the uits supplied iformatio o the auxiliary variables x ad at the secod phase sample of size, i which 1 uits supply iformatio ad 2 uits refuse to respod for study variable y ad as well as auxiliary x. Followig Hase ad Hurwitz [13] techique of sub-samplig the o-respodig group, a sub-sample of size m uits (m= 2 k,k>1) is selected at radom (without replacemet) from the 2 o- respodet uits, where k is the iverse samplig rate at the secod phase sample of size. All the m uits respod at this time ow ad the whole populatio (i.e. U) is supposed to be cosistig of two o-overlappig strata of N 1 ad N 2 uits. Stratum of N 1 respodig uits (deoted by U 1 ) would respod o the first call at the secod phase ad the stratum of N 2 (N 2 = N N 1 ) o-respodig uits (deoted by U 2 ) would ot respod o the first call at the secod phase but will respod o the secod call. Further, we assume that the strata sizes of N 1 ad N 2 are ot kow well i advace, see Tripathi ad Khare [22]. The stratum weights of respodig ad o-respodig groups are give by (W 1 = N 1 N ) ad (W 2 = N 2 N ) ad their estimates are cosidered as ( W 1 = N 1 N ) ad ( W 2 = N 2 N ) respectively. Let first ad secod phase sample be deoted by u ad u respectively ad let u 1 = u U 1 ad u 2 = u U 2. The sub-sample of u 2 will be deoted by u 2m. The followig are the list of otatios, cosidered for their further use: Ȳ = N i=1 y i N : The populatio mea of the study variable y. X = N i=1 x i : The populatio mea of the auxiliary variable x. Ȳ 1 = N 1 i=1 X 1 = N 1 i=1 N y i N 1 : The populatio mea of the study variable y 1 of the respose group. x i Ȳ 2 = N 1+N 2 i=n 1 +1 X 2 = N 1+N 2 i=n 1 +1 N 1 : The populatio mea of the auxiliary variable x 1 of the respose group. y i N 2 : The populatio mea of the study variable y 2 of the o-respose group. x i N 2 : The populatio mea of the auxiliary variable x 2 of the o-respose group. S 2 y = 1 (N 1) N i=1 (y i Ȳ) 2 : The populatio variace of the study variable y. S 2 x = 1 (N 1) N i=1 (x i X) 2 : The populatio variace of the auxiliary variable x. Sy 2 1 = 1 (N 1 1) N 1 i=1 (y i Ȳ 1 ) 2 : The populatio variace of the study variable y 1 of the respose group. Sx 2 1 = 1 (N 1 1) N 1 i=1 (x i X 1 ) 2 : The populatio variace of the auxiliary variable x 1 of the respose group. Sy 2 2 = 1 (N 2 1) N 1+N 2 i=n 1 +1 (y i Ȳ 2 ) 2 : The populatio variace of the study variable y 2 of the o-respose group. Sx 2 2 = 1 (N 2 1) N 1+N 2 i=n 1 +1 (x i X 2 ) 2 : The populatio variace of the auxiliary variable x 2 of the o-respose group. ρ yx = S yx S y S x : Correlatio coefficiet betwee the variable y ad x (i.e. U). The sample mea ȳ 1 = i=1 y i is ubiased for Ȳ 1, but has a bias equal to W 2 (Ȳ 1 Ȳ 2 ) i estimatig the populatio mea Ȳ. Natural Scieces Publishig Cor.

Thus, a ubiased estimator for the populatio mea Ȳ is give by: ȳ = 1ȳ 1 + 2 ȳ 2m ad x 2r = r i=1 x i r deoted the mea of sub-sample uits. A ubiased estimator for the populatio mea X is (1) x = 1 x 1 + 2 x 2m (2) 3 Suggested class of estimators Motivated with the above work, usig ukow real costat W 1 ad W 2 ad oe auxiliary variables x, we defie a geeral class of estimators for estimatig Ȳ as follows. where ψ(w 1,w 2,h 2(0,1))=w 1 + w 2 h 2(0,1), 2 i=1 w i = 1 h 1 (α,β)=( x x ) α ( x x )β,h 2 (α,β)=( x x ) α ( x x )β,h 3 (α,β)=( x x ) α ( x x ) β p( x, x,ȳ )= x x ȳ T(w 1,w 2 )=ȳ h 3 ψ(w 1,w 2,h 2(0,1)) (3) Now we idetify some of the members of the proposed class of estimators preset below T 1 = ȳ h 2 (0,1)=ȳ x x (4) T 2 = ȳ h 2 (0, 1)= ȳ x x (5) T 3 = ȳ h 3 (1,0)=ȳ x x (6) T 4 = ȳ h 3 ( 1,0)=ȳ x x (7) T 5 = ȳ h 3 (1,0)h 2 (0,1)=ȳ x x x x (8) T 6 = ȳ (1+b p( x, x,ȳ ))=ȳ + b ( x x ) (9) where b = s ys is a estimator of populatio regressio coefficiet β = S yx based o secod phase ad s 2 x S 2 x s yx = 1 ( 1) ( u 1 x j y j + m u2m x j y j xȳ ),s 2 x = 1 ( 1) ( u 1 x 2 j + m u 2m x 2 j x x ) ad S yx = 1 (N 1) ( N i=1 (y i Ȳ)(x i X)) It may be oted that the estimators T i (i=1,2,,6) are well kow ratio, product, regressio ad chai type estimators i two phase samplig. The estimators (T 1,T 2,T 3,T 6 ) are first proposed ad studied by Khare ad Srivastava [5]. The estimator T 1 is revisited by Okafor ad Lee [8] ad Tabasum ad Kha [17]. Further, the estimator T 3 is recosidered by Tabasum ad kha [18] ad the estimator T 6 is revisited by Okafaor ad Lee [8]. The estimator T 5 is proposed by Sigh ad Kumar [10] i the presece of o-respose. Natural Scieces Publishig Cor.

Sigh et al.: Estimatio of populatio mea i presece of... 4 Some estimators of the proposed class It is also visible to ote that a umber of chai ratio type, regressio type ad other estimators fall uder the proposed class of estimators T(w 1,w 2 ) for differet choice of weights(w 1,w 2 ).

[20] T(1 α, α)= ȳ h 3 (1,0)ψ(1 α, α,h 2 (0,1)) (13) 5 Properties of estimator The bias ad mea square errors (MSE) of the proposed class of estimators T(w 1,w 2 ) to the first order of approximatios are derived uder large sample approximatios usig the followig trasformatios: ȳ = Ȳ(1+e 0 ), x = X(1+e 1 ), x= X(1+e 2 ), x = X(1+e 3 ) Such that e i <1(i=0,1,,3). Further, we have the followig expectatios. E(e i )=0,(i=0,1,,3),E(e 2 0 )= f 1Cy 2+W 2 Cy(2) 2,E(e2 1 )= f 1Cx 2+W 2 Cx(2) 2, E(e 2 2 )=E(e 1e 2 )= f 1 Cx 2,E(e2 3 )=E(e 1e 3 )=E(e 2 e 3 )= f 2 Cx 2,E(e 0e 2 )= f 1 ρ yx C y C x,e(e 0 e 3 )= f 2 ρ yx C y C x, E(e 0 e 1 )= f 1 ρ yx C y C x +W 2 ρ yx(2) C y(2) C x(2) where f 1 =( 1 N 1), f 2 =( 1 N 1), f 3 =( f 2 f 3 )=( 1 1 ) C y,c x : Coefficiet of variatios of the variables y ad x respectively based o the whole populatio. ρ yx(2) : Correlatio coefficiets betwee the variables show i suffice i the o-respose group of the populatio (i. e. U 2 ). Thus, expressig T(w 1,w 2 ) i terms of e s ad eglectig the terms of e s havig power greater tha two we get T(w 1,w 2)= Ȳ[R+1+W 1(e 0 e 1 + e 3 + e 2 1 e 0 e 1 + e 0 e 3 e 1 e 3 ) +W 2(e 0 e 1 e 2 + 2e 3 + e 2 1+ e 2 2+ e 2 3 e 0 e 1 e 0 e 2 + 2e 0 e 3 + e 1 e 2 2e 1 e 3 2e 2 e 3 )] (14) where R=(W 1 +W 2 1) Takig expectatios o both sides of the equatio (14) ad usig the expectatio values, we obtai the expressios for bias B(T) ad mea square errors M(T) of the class of estimators to the first order of approximatios as B(T)= Ȳ[R+W 1( f 3 Cx 2 f 3 ρ yx C y C x +W 2 (Cx(2) 2 ρ yx(2)c y(2) C x(2) )) +W 2 (3 f 3Cx 2 2 f 3ρ yx C y C x +W 2 (Cx(2) 2 ρ yx(2)c y(2) C x(2) ))] (15) ad where M(T)= Ȳ 2 [W 2 1 A+W 2 2 B+2W 1 W 2 C+2W 1 RD+2W 2RE] (16) Natural Scieces Publishig Cor.

This ca be achieved by miimizig MSE give i equatio (16) with respect to the ukow costat W 1 (i=1,2). Differetiatig equatio (16) with respect to W 1 ad W 2 ad equatig them zero, we have the optimum value of W 1 (i=1,2) as follows ad (W 1 ) opt = (1+D)(1+B+2E) (1+E)(1+C+D+E) = W (1+A+2D)(1+B+2E) (1+C+D+E) 2 1 (W 2 ) opt = (1+E)(1+A+2D) (1+D)(1+C+D+E) = W (1+A+2D)(1+B+2E) (1+C+D+E) 2 2 Substitutig these optimum values of W i (i = 1, 2) i equatio (16), we have miimum MSE of T as mi.m(t)= Ȳ 2 [W 2 1 A+W 2 2 B+2W 1 W 2 C+2W 1 RD+2W 2 RE] (17) 7 Efficiecies compariso I this sectio we ivestigate the situatios uder which our proposed class of estimators T(w 1,w 2 ) are preferable over the existig estimators such as Hase ad Hurwitz [13] sample mea estimator ȳ, T i (i = 1,2,,6). The variace V(.)/MSE of these estimators to the first order of approximatios are obtaied as V(ȳ )= Ȳ 2 [ f 1 Cy 2 +W 2 Cy(2) 2 ] (18) M(T 1 )= Ȳ 2 [ f 1 Cy 2 + f 3Cx 2 2 f 3ρ yx C y C c +W 2 Cy(2) 2 ] (19) M(T 2 )= Ȳ 2 [ f 1 Cy 2 + f 3 Cx 2 + 2 f 3 ρ yx C y C c +W 2 Cy(2) 2 ] (20) M(T 3 )= Ȳ 2 [ f 1 Cy 2 + f 3Cx 2 2 f 3ρ yx C y C c +W 2 (Cy(2) 2 +C2 x(2) 2ρ yx(2)c y(2) C x(2) )] (21) M(T 4 )= Ȳ 2 [ f 1 Cy 2 + f 3Cx 2 + 2 f 3ρ yx C y C c +W 2 (Cy(2) 2 +C2 x(2) 2ρ yx(2)c y(2) C x(2) )] (22) ad M(T 5 )= Ȳ 2 [ f 1 Cy 2 + 4 f 3 Cx 2 4 f 3 ρ yx C y C c +W 2 (Cy(2) 2 +C2 x(2) 2ρ yx(2)c y(2) C x(2) )] (23) M(T 6 )= Ȳ 2 [ f 1 Cy 2 f 3 ρyxc 2 x]+w 2 2 [Sy(2) 2 + β yxsx(2) 2 (β yx 2β yx(2) )] (24) It may be oted that the expressio of the MSE of T show i equatio (17) is quite difficult. However, the performace of the proposed class of estimators is examied through empirical study over differet populatio which established the superiority over the traditioal oes.

N = 109,Ȳ = 145.30, X = 165.26,C y = 0.76,C X = 0.68,C y(2) = 0.68,C x(2) = 0.057, ρ yx = 0.81,ρ yx(2) = 0.78,N 2 = 28,W 2 = 0.25. Populatio III- Source: [District Cecus Hadbook, 1981, West Begal, Published by Govt. of Idia] Niety-six village wise populatio of rural area uder Police-statio-Sigur, District-Hooghly, West Begal has bee take uder the study. The %25 villages (i.e. 24 villages) whose area is greater tha 160 hectares have bee cosidered as o-respose group of the populatio. The umber of agricultural labours i the village is take as study variable (y) while the area (i hectares) of the village is take as auxiliary variables (x). It is to be oted that this populatio was also cosidered by Khare ad Siha [3]. N = 96,Ȳ = 137.92, X = 144.87,C y = 1.32,C X = 0.81,C y(2) = 2.08,C x(2) = 0.094, ρ yx = 0.77,ρ yx(2) = 0.72,N 2 = 24,W 2 = 0.25. Here we have computed the percetage relative efficiecy (PRE) of propose estimator ad other exitig Hase ad Hurwitz [13] sample mea estimatorȳ,t 1,T 3 ad T 5 with respect to usual ubiased estimator ȳ. PRE = V(ȳ ) M(ι) 100whereι =(ȳ,t 1,T 3,T 5,T) (25) 9 Iterpretatios of results The followig iterpretatios may be read out from Table 1 (i)for all populatio I, II ad III, the PRE of estimator T 1 decreasig for differet choice of the sub-samplig fractio ( 1 k ) ad sample size (, ). (ii)for icrease value of the sub-samplig fractio ( 1 k ) ad sample size (, ), the PRE for populatio I, II ad III of estimators T 3,T 5 ad T are icreasig. (iii)it is also visible that the estimator T 5 i populatio-ii do ot gai efficiecy for the value k=2 at = 85. 10 Coclusios From above aalyses, it is clear that the proposed class of estimators T cotribute sigificatly to hadle the differet realistic situatios of o-resposes while estimatig populatio mea i double samplig. It is visible that the proposed class of estimators is more efficiet tha the other existig estimators uder the similar realistic situatios. Natural Scieces Publishig Cor.
