In this study, we address the problem of estimating the finite population mean when the non-response occurs on the characteristics under study. We propose a class of Rao-regression type estimators when ranked set sampling (RSS) procedure is used to collect the data from non-response group only and from both, the response and non-response groups. The information provided on the auxiliary variable is used at both stages i.e., at designing stage and the estimation stage. Expressions for bias and mean square error of the estimators are obtained up to first order of approximation. A comprehensive simulation study is carried out to observe the performances of the estimators under non-response.
