This book emphasizes that artificial or pseudo-populations play an
important role in statistical surveys from finite universes in two
manners: firstly, the concept of pseudo-populations may
substantially improve users' understanding of various aspects in
the sampling theory and survey methodology; an example of this
scenario is the Horvitz-Thompson estimator. Secondly, statistical
procedures exist in which pseudo-populations actually have to be
generated. An example of such a scenario can be found in simulation
studies in the field of survey sampling, where close-to-reality
pseudo-populations are generated from known sample and population
data to form the basis for the simulation process. The chapters
focus on estimation methods, sampling techniques, nonresponse,
questioning designs and statistical disclosure control. This book
is a valuable reference in understanding the importance of the
pseudo-population concept and applying it in teaching and research.
