Practical Tools for Designing and Weighting Survey Samples, Second Edition by Richard ValliantEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 787 Pages | ISBN : 331993631X | 34.47 MB
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.
