Title A name given to the resource An Improved Alternative Method of Imputation for Missing Data in Survey Sampling Subject The topic of the resource bias; imputation; mean squared error (MSE); percent relative efficiency (PRE); Population mean Description An account of the resource In the present paper, a new and improved method of ratio type imputation and corresponding point estimator to estimate the finite population mean is proposed in case of missing data problem. It has been shown that this estimator utilizes the readily available auxiliary information efficiently and gives better results than the ratio and mean methods of imputation; furthermore, its efficiency is also compared with the regression method of imputation and some other imputation methods, discussed in this article, using four real data sets. A simulation study is carried out to verify theoretical outcomes, and suitable recommendations are made. 2022 NSP Natural Sciences Publishing Cor.
