A trusted classic on the key methods in population sampling--now in
a modernized and expanded new edition
"Sampling of Populations, Fourth Edition" continues to serve as
an all-inclusive resource on the basic and most current practices
in population sampling. Maintaining the clear and accessible style
of the previous edition, this book outlines the essential
statistical methodsfor survey design and analysis, while also
exploring techniques that have developed over the past decade.
The Fourth Edition successfully guides the reader through the
basic concepts and procedures that accompany real-world sample
surveys, such as sampling designs, problems of missing data,
statistical analysis of multistage sampling data, and nonresponse
and poststratification adjustment procedures. Rather than employ a
heavily mathematical approach, the authors present illustrative
examples that demonstrate the rationale behind common steps in the
sampling process, from creating effective surveys to analyzing
collected data. Along with established methods, modern topics are
treated through the book's new features, which include:
A new chapter on telephone sampling, with coverage of declining
response rates, the creation of "do not call" lists, and the
growing use of cellular phones
A new chapter on sample weighting that focuses on adjustments to
weight for nonresponse, frame deficiencies, and the effects of
estimator instability
An updated discussion of sample survey data analysis that
includes analytic procedures for estimation and hypothesis
testing
A new section on Chromy's widely used method of taking
probability proportional to size samples with minimum replacement
of primary sampling units
An expanded index with references on the latest research in the
field
All of the book's examples and exercises can be easily worked
out using various software packages including SAS(R), STATA(R), and
SUDAAN, and an extensive FTP site contains additional data sets.
With its comprehensive presentation and wealth of relevant
examples, "Sampling of Populations, Fourth Edition" is an ideal
book for courses on survey sampling at the upper-undergraduate and
graduate levels. It is also a valuable reference for practicing
statisticians who would like to refresh their knowledge of sampling
techniques.
