Klappentext zu „Practical Tools for Designing and Weighting Survey Samples “
The goal of this book is to put an array of tools at the fingertips of students, practitioners, and researchers by explaining approaches long used by survey statisticians, illustrating how existing software can be used to solve survey problems, and developing some specialized software where needed. This volume serves at least three audiences: (1) students of applied sampling techniques; 2) practicing survey statisticians applying concepts learned in theoretical or applied sampling courses; and (3) social scientists and other survey practitioners who design, select, and weight survey samples.The text thoroughly covers fundamental aspects of survey sampling, such as sample size calculation (with examples for both single- and multi-stage sample design) and weight computation, accompanied by software examples to facilitate implementation. Features include step-by-step instructions for calculating survey weights, extensive real-world examples and applications, and representative programming code in R, SAS, and other packages.
Since the publication of the first edition in 2013, there have been important developments in making inferences from nonprobability samples, in address-based sampling (ABS), and in the application of machine learning techniques for survey estimation. New to this revised and expanded edition:
- Details on new functions in the PracTools package
- Additional machine learning methods to form weighting classes
- New coverage of nonlinear optimization algorithms for sample allocation
- Reflecting effects of multiple weighting steps (nonresponse and calibration) on standard errors
- A new

Pressezitat
"This book attempts to explain long used approaches, illustrate how existing software can be used to solve survey problems, and develop some specialized software where needed with a focus on related practitioners (i.e. students, survey statisticians, and other survey practitioners). ... this book may be useful to students, survey statisticians, social scientists and other survey practitioners. The book may also serve as a useful reference for other professionals engaged in the conduct of sample surveys." (Sada Nand Dwivedi, ISCB News, iscb.info, Issue 67, June, 2019)
