This new handbook contains the most comprehensive account of
sample surveys theory and practice to date. It is a second volume
on sample surveys, with the goal of updating and extending the
sampling volume published as volume 6 of the Handbook of Statistics
in 1988. The present handbook is divided into two volumes (29A and
29B), with a total of 41 chapters, covering current developments in
almost every aspect of sample surveys, with references to important
contributions and available software. It can serve as a self
contained guide to researchers and practitioners, with appropriate
balance between theory and real life applications.
Each of the two volumes is divided into three parts, with each
part preceded by an introduction, summarizing the main developments
in the areas covered in that part. Volume29A deals with methods of
sample selection and data processing, with the later including
editing and imputation, handling of outliers and measurement
errors, and methods of disclosure control. The volume contains also
a large variety of applications in specialized areas such as
household and business surveys, marketing research, opinion polls
and censuses. Volume29B is concerned with inference, distinguishing
between design-based and model-based methods and focusing on
specific problems such as small area estimation, analysis of
longitudinal data, categorical data analysis and inference on
distribution functions. The volume contains also chapters dealing
with case-control studies, asymptotic properties of estimators and
decision theoretic aspects.
