In this paper we study the calibration estimator and its variance estimator for the population total using a bootstrap method according to the levels of an auxiliary information having strong correlation with an interested variable in nonresponse situation. At this point, we find tire calibration estimator in case of auxiliary information for population and sample, and then we drive the bootstrap variance estimator of it. By simulation study we compare the efficiencies with the Taylor and Jackknife variance estimators.

In the presence of unit nonresponse we perform the calibration estimation procedure for the population total corresponding to the levels of auxiliary information and derive the Taylor and the Jackknife variance estimators of it. We study the nonresponse bias reduction and the variance stabilization, and then show the efficiency of the Taylor and the Jackknife variance estimators by simulation study.

Typically, it should be use auxiliary variable for calibrating the survey nonreponse in census or sampling survey. Where, if the dimension of auxiliary information is large, then it nay be spend a lot of computing time, and difficult to handle data set. Also because the variance estimator depends on the dimension of auxiliary variables, the variance estimator becomes underestimator. To deal with this problem, we propose the variable selection methods for calibration estimation procedure in unit nonreponse situation and we compare the efficiency by simulation study.

The case which applies two-phase sampling to stratification and nonresponse problem, it is a poweful and effective technique. In this paper we study the calibration estimator and its variance estimator for the population total using two-phase sampling method according to the of auxiliary information for population and sample having strong correlation with an interested variable in unit nonresponse situation. The auxiliary information that available both at first-phase and second-phase sampling can be used to improve weights by the calibration procedure. A weight which corresponds to the product of sampling weights and response probability is calculated at each phase of sampling.

This paper contains a precise calibration technique for the position of seabed acoustic target and theoretical error analysis of calibration results. The target is deployed on seabed as a standalone transponder. The purpose of target is performing accuracy test for active sonar as well as position calibration itself. For the position calibration, relative range between target and test vessel should be measured using target's transponder function. The relative range data combined with vessel position can be converted into a estimated position of target by the application of nonlinear LSE method. The error analysis of position calibration was divided into two stages. One is for relative range estimator and the other for target position estimator. Numerical simulations for position calibration showed good matching between results and developed CRLB.

We treat the problem of variance estimation for the estimator of population total, which is derived from the calibration estimation procedure corresponding to the levels of auxiliary information under nonresponse situation. We develop the calibrated variance estimation procedure using the fact that the population total and variance as well as the sample total and variance of the auxiliary variable are known. We show that the proposed variance estimation procedure improves the $Lundst\ddot{o}rm$ and $S\ddot{a}rndal's$ (1999) procedure with respect to the variance and nonresponse bias reduction through the simulation study.

Singh (2013) considered the dual problem to the calibration of design weights to obtain a new generalized linear regression estimator (GREG) for the finite population total. In this work, we have made an attempt to suggest a way to use the dual calibration of the design weights in case of multi-auxiliary variables; in other words, we have made an attempt to give an answer to the concern in Remark 2 of Singh (2013) work. The same idea is also used to generalize the GREG estimator proposed by Deville and S$\ddot{a}$rndal (1992). It is not an easy task to find the optimum values of the parameters appear in our approach; therefore, few suggestions are mentioned to select values for such parameters based on a random sample. Based on real data set and under simple random sampling without replacement design, our approach is compared with other approaches mentioned in this paper and for different sample sizes. Simulation results show that all estimators have negligible relative bias, and the multivariate case of Singh (2013) estimator is more efficient than other estimators.

A nonresponse adjusted raking ratio estimator that consists of weighting adjustment using estimated response probability and raking procedure is often used to reduce the nonresponse bias and keep the calibration property of the estimator. We investigated asymptotic properties of nonresponse adjusted raking ratio estimator and proposed a variance estimator. A simulation study is used to examine the performance of suggested estimators.

In this paper we suggest the new calibration estimator, which is called to the recalibration estimator, and its variance estimator using two-phase sampling technique according to the auxiliary information having strong correlation with the variable of interest under the unit nonresponse. In this unit nonresponse situation, an available information may exists at the level of whole population or the first-phase sample. The proposed recalibration estimator derives from the first and second phase weights respectively.

This paper proposes the calibration procedure for stratified Warner's randomized response model, which suggested by Kim and Warde (2004). It is shown that the proposed calibration estimator is more efficient than the Kim and Warde's model.
