Description

This book provides a comprehensive account of survey sampling theory and methodology which will be suitable for students and researchers across a variety of disciplines. A central theme is to show how statistical modeling is a vital component of the sampling process and in the choice of estimation technique. Statistical modeling has strongly influenced sampling theory in recent years and has clarified many issues related to the uses of auxiliary information in surveys. This is the first textbook that systematically extends traditional sampling theory with the aid of a modern model assisted outlook. The central ideas of sampling theory are developed from the unifying perspective of unequal probability sampling. The book covers classical topics as well as areas where significant new developments have taken place notably domain estimation, variance estimation, methods for handling nonresponse, models for measurement error, and the analysis of survey data. The authors have taken care to presuppose nothing more on the part of the reader than a first course in statistical inference and regression analysis. Throughout, the emphasis is on statistical ideas rather than advanced mathematics. Each chapter concludes with a range of exercises incorporating the analysis of data from actual finite populations. As a result, all those concerned with survey methodology or engaged in survey sampling will find this an invaluable and up-to-date coverage of the subject.

Description

Featuring the model-assisted approach to estimation in surveys, this book stresses important general principles for estimation and analysis in surveys. This includes the use of modelling in sampling, stating the precision in survey estimates, the use of supplementary information from census or administrative files, nonresponse and missing data, regression and other types of statistical analysis of survey data, survey errors and error models and estimation for subpopulations and small areas. The book is intended for statistics students, survey methodologists and those engaged in survey research in a variety of disciplines.
