Abstract
In this paper, we proposed new conventional unbiased and calibration estimators for estimating finite population variance for a Mail
Survey Design characterized by the presence of non-response in
practice. The properties of the proposed estimators are studied
theoretically and numerically. Empirical studies were conducted
using two each of existing and simulated data to illustrate the performance of proposed estimators over existing ones. The results of
both theoretical and numerical comparison depicted the superiority
of proposed estimators for estimating population variance for a Mail
Survey Design characterized by non-response.
