Abstract
In the present paper a two-stage stratified Warner’s randomized response model is used to determine the optimum allocation in the presence of non-response. The problem is formulated as a Nonlinear Programming Problem. A complete method of solution of the formulated problem is proposed. Two numerical examples are worked out to illustrate the computational details of the proposed method.
