In the present paper, we have proposed some improved ratio and regression-type estimators of the finite population mean utilizing the information on two auxiliary variables in the presence of non-response. The two-phase sampling scheme has been used to accomplish the job of estimating the desired parameter. The expressions for the basic properties such as bias and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed estimators have been derived up to the first order of approximation. A comparative study of the proposed estimators with some existing estimators has also been carried out through a real data set.

A class of estimators for a finite population mean is presented for the situations where population means of some auxiliary variables are known while those of others are unknown. The results for general two phase sampling are indicated while the detailed discussion is made for the case when SRSWOR is used at both the phases. While several known estimators belong to the proposed clas~ some new estimators are identified as well. The optimum estimator in the proposed class is found to be better than the so-called chain ratio and regression estimators discu ssed by Chand (1975). Kiregyera (1984) and Mukerjee et al. (1987). The relative gains in efficiency of tho proposed optimum estimator over the others are obtained for a natural population data and found to be quite appreciable.

We suggest an estimator using two auxiliary variables for the estimation of the unknown population variance. The bias and the mean square error of the proposed estimator are obtained to the first order of approximations. In addition, the problem is extended to two-phase sampling scheme. After theoretical comparisons, as an illustration, a numerical comparison is carried out to examine the performance of the suggested estimator with several estimators.
