A trusted classic on the key methods in populationsampling--now in a modernized and expanded new edition
Sampling of Populations, Fourth Edition continues toserve as an all-inclusive resource on the basic and most currentpractices in population sampling. Maintaining the clear andaccessible style of the previous edition, this book outlines theessential statistical methodsfor survey design and analysis, whilealso exploring techniques that have developed over the pastdecade.
The Fourth Edition successfully guides the reader throughthe basic concepts and procedures that accompany real-world samplesurveys, such as sampling designs, problems of missing data,statistical analysis of multistage sampling data, and nonresponseand poststratification adjustment procedures. Rather than employ aheavily mathematical approach, the authors present illustrativeexamples that demonstrate the rationale behind common steps in thesampling process, from creating effective surveys to analyzingcollected data. Along with established methods, modern topics aretreated through the book's new features, which include:
* A new chapter on telephone sampling, with coverage of decliningresponse rates, the creation of "do not call" lists, and thegrowing use of cellular phones
* A new chapter on sample weighting that focuses on adjustmentsto weight for nonresponse, frame deficiencies, and the effects ofestimator instability
* An updated discussion of sample survey data analysis thatincludes analytic procedures for estimation and hypothesistesting
* A new section on Chromy's widely used method of takingprobability proportional to size samples with minimum replacementof primary sampling units
* An expanded index with references on the latest research in thefield
All of the book's examples and exercises can be easily workedout using various software packages including SAS, STATA, andSUDAAN, and an extensive FTP site contains additional data sets.With its comprehensive presentation and wealth of relevantexamples, Sampling of Populations, Fourth Edition is anideal book for courses on survey sampling at theupper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also a valuablereference for practicing statisticians who would like to refreshtheir knowledge of sampling techniques.
