Abstract: The estimation of finite population mean at current occasion in two occasion successive sampling in presence of non-response is investigated using tuned jackknife estimators. Based on the availability of auxiliary information at population level (Info U) and sample level (Info s) and using tuned jackknife technique, estimators have been proposed. Estimator of variance of proposed estimators have also been discussed. Different cases of occurance of non-response have been explored. The estimators are mutually compared. The properties of these estimators are studied via simulation study using natural population.

Keywords: Successive occasions, non-response, tuned jackknife estimator, population mean, variance
