| Description: |
Discusses the theory of sample surveys for descriptive aims. After narrowing the focus to the study of sampling error, the book concentrates on the mechanics of design-based estimation. It then covers inference itself, and moves on to an examination of analytical purposes in surveys. |
| Synopsis: |
Following the chronological development of sample surveys, this book provides an analysis of the mathematical and statistical theory of the subject. The text begins with the mathematics of randomized sampling designs as well as a general treatment of estimation of population totals through the Horvits-Thompson estimator and its variants. The book then examines approximations and limit theorems for the distribution of the estimators and design-based estimation of other population quantities. It concludes with chapters concerning inference from surveys. Theory of Sample Surveys will assist in a range of applications, including: * auditing * quality monitoring * market research * wildlife surveys * mining exploration * agriculture and business surveys * population health studies This book acts as an exceptional resource for survey methodologists in government organizations as well as lecturers and graduate students in statistics and biostatistics. |
