Developing estimators when non-response exists may result in large biases when estimating population parameters. In this paper, a finite population mean is estimated when non-response exists randomly under two stage cluster sampling with replacement. It is assumed that non-response arises in the survey variable in the second stage of cluster sampling. Weighting method of compensating for non-response is applied. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator of the population mean are derived. Under mild assumptions, the estimator is shown to be asymptotically consistent.enNon-ResponseNadaraya-Watson EstimationTwo Stage Cluster SamplingEstimating a Finite Population Mean under Random Non-Response in Two Stage Cluster Sampling with ReplacementArticle
