Abstract

Throughout this article, a two-phase sampling (TPS) technique is employed to estimate the population mean of the sensitive variable. The current article endeavours to develop a chain ratio type estimator for the estimation of sensitive variable(s) in the presence of non-response and measurement error simultaneously by utilizing ORRT models under a two-phase sampling technique. The significant aspects associated with the suggested estimator characterized by bias and mean squared error have been evaluated. Besides this, the utterance for the minimum mean squared error for the optimal values has also been identified. The supremacy of the proposed estimator has been compared with the modified existing estimators under the TPS scheme by using two sensitive auxiliary variables. To clarify the theoretical findings, a simulation study along with a hypothetical generated population and a real population which is based on abortion rates from Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2011 are also addressed in this study.
