Description
Of related interest Telephone Survey Methodology Edited by Robert M. Groves, Paul P. Biemer, Lars E. Lyberg, James T. Massey, William L. Nicholls II and Joseph Waksberg Here is a fascinating and comprehensive review of recent developments in telephone survey techniques around the world. Inside, you'll find reports on trends in coverage of U.S. household populations, effects due to mode of data collection, and the state of the art in technology. Important aspects of each method are covered: choice of target population, sample design, questionnaire construction, interviewing techniques, measurement error issues, and nonresponse characteristics. 1988 (0 471-62218-4) 608 pp. Survey Errors and Survey Costs Robert M. Groves This groundbreaking volume provides a much needed synthesis of statistical and social science perspectives concerning design features in surveys. Drawing upon both of these disciplines for insights into the measurement of errors and the reasons why they exist, the book explores evidence of relationships among the several types of survey errors and presents cost models for reducing various errors.
Also covered in depth is the impact of attempts to reduce survey errors on research budgets. 1989 (0 471-61171-9) 608 pp. Measurement Error Models Wayne A. Fuller "Four chapters, each dense with examples and exercises. Pages of crisp design. Extensive bibliography." - Sci Tech Book News "No longer will the excuse that the correct techniques are hard to find in the literature be valid all the relevant material has now been collected together in this book. Many different models are considered, and estimators, distributional results, and asymptotic theory are set out for each model. Much recent research material is included. Application of results to real data illustrates each case considered." - Short Book Reviews (Publication of the International Statistical Institute) 1987 (0 471-86187-1) 464 pp.
