Modern statistics consists of methods which help in drawing
inferences about the population under consideration. These
populations may actually exist, or could be generated by repeated.
experimentation. The medium of drawing inferences about the
population is the sample, which is a subset of measurements
selected from the population. Each measurement in the sample is
used for making inferences about the population. The populations
and also the methods of sample selection differ from one field of
science to the other. Social scientists use surveys tocollectthe
sample information, whereas the physical scientists employ the
method of experimentation for obtaining this information. This is
because in social sciences the factors that cause variation in the
measurements on the study variable for the population units can not
be controlled, whereas in physical sciences these factors can be
controlled, at least to some extent, through proper experimental
design. Several excellent books on sampling theory are available in
the market. These books discuss the theory of sample surveys in
great depth and detail, and are suited to the postgraduate students
majoring in statistics. Research workers in the field of sampling
methodology can also make use of these books. However, not many
suitable books are available, which can be used by the students and
researchers in the fields of economics, social sciences, extension
education, agriculture, medical sciences, business management, etc.
These students and workers usually conduct sample surveys during
their research projects."
