Abstract

In this paper we have proposed some estimators of population mean in case of non-response using information of a single auxiliary variable. A general estimator in case of non-response has also been proposed. The expressions for mean square errors of proposed estimators have been derived. Special cases of proposed estimator have been obtained using different values of constants.
