Abstract

The existence of nonresponse in survey sampling has engendered inconsistencies in the estimation of population parameter. Such estimation, being characterized by nonresponse bias has become a rule rather than the exception in survey sampling, and this has been long acknowledged in the literature. Several authors have come up with different techniques such as subsampling the nonresponse, imputation, and calibration to curb this menace. An attempt to overcome the challenges faced in existing works, this study considered the estimation of finite population mean using calibration approach with subsampling the nonrespondents. Owning to the fact that calibration estimation has been found to reduce bias and improve efficiency of estimators. The classical estimator by Hansen and Hurwitz for estimating the population mean with subsampling the nonrespondents is calibrated upon using the chi square distance function, and different choices of the tunning parameter result in the calibration estimators of combined regression and ratio. Expressions for the bias, variance and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed estimators are derived and their properties studied. Again, the optimum conditions under which the suggested estimators have minimum variance and MSE are equally provided. Both efficiency and empirical comparisons are in favor of the proposed estimators, and suggest that the proposed estimators are more efficient and reliable with high precision than the existing estimators even in double sampling. In addition, expressions for optimal sample sizes with respect to the cost of the survey have been derived to validate the superiority of the proposed estimators, and the empirical investigation confirms the proposed estimators as highly preferable.
