Abstract
In survey sampling an investigator may be unable to get the complete and correct information at the same time. So non-response and measurement error occur simultaneously and consequently may effect the estimator. Considering this problem, a generalized class of estimators is proposed for estimating the finite population mean for sensitive variable in the presence of measurement error and non-response under stratified random sampling. We conducted a study based on real data set at Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Simulation and real life data sets are used to observe the performances of the estimators. Bias and MSE values are given for the comparison of estimators. (c) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.
