Use of power transformation for estimating the population mean in presence of non-response in successive sampling

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the population mean at the current occasion in two occasion successive sampling when non-response occurs on the current (second) occasions. Using the power transformation we have suggested classes of estimators of current population mean and their properties are studied. Optimum replacement strategies for the proposed estimators have been given and empirical studies are carried out to assess the performance of estimators. We have made suitable recommendation to the practitioners on the basis of the empirical study.
