A cost-effective computational approach with non response on two occasions

Abstract

The present study is an attempt to equip a strategy with a cost-effective computational approach when non response is present under two occasion sampling. We have applied our computational cost strategy over Choudhary et al. (2004)’s non response setup for fixed precision and evaluated cost. In addition, we have also computed variance for some fixed cost. We have discussed the aforementioned procedure for three cases as when there is non response present on both occasions, first occasion and second occasion. A numerical illustration is demonstrated for validation of improved cost methodology where we also work out with optimum unmatched or matched fraction while Choudhary et al. (2004) do not provide the direct optimal result.
