In this paper we give a complete description of the minimal complete subclass of C the class of all homogeneous linear unbiased estimators of a finite population mean for the extremely special case of taking sample of size 2 units from a population of size 4, where only samples containing units ( U1, Ui+ 1) have equal positive probability.

Human-assisted surveys, such as medical and social science surveys, are frequently plagued by non-response or missing observations. Several authors have devised different imputation algorithms to account for missing observations during analyses. Nonetheless, several of these imputation schemes' estimators are based on known population meanof auxiliary variable. In this paper, a new class of almost unbiased imputation method that uses  as an estimate of is suggested. Using the Taylor series expansion technique, the MSE of the class of estimators presented was derived up to first order approximation. Conditions were also specified for which the new estimators were more efficient than the other estimators studied in the study. The results of numerical examples through simulations revealed that the suggested class of estimators is more efficient.
