A procedure is proposed to study unit nonresponse when data are from a two stage household sample survey in which household are the units of the first level and individuals are the units of second level. The individual person responses within the sample survey did not contain information on the nonrespondents. Therefore, household schedule variables which are based on proxy person response information are combined with the binary dependent response/nonresponse variable from the individual survey records. The idea is to estimate a logistic model whose dependent variable is the binary unit response indicator and where individual characteristics at the right hand side are approximated by household information collected at the first level. Among other models, a binary logistic regression model is proposed and the results are analyzed and interpreted by the computed odds ratios. The results have indicated several significant covariates for the model of nonresponse. </div>}, number={1}
