This book was released on 1990 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) conducts quarterly surveys for estimation of some primary commodities produced on farms and ranches. The commodities often have highly skewed distributions with a few farms producing very large amounts. NASS uses dual sampling frames comprised of the list frame for efficient stratification and the area frame for estimation of the part (nonoverlap) of the population that is not included in the list frame. Because the area frame sampling probabilities are relatively small, a few large observations in the nonoverlap sample can greatly influence the usual direct expansion (DE) estimates for population totals. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate modifications of the usual DE estimators which could produce more efficient estimators for the NASS quarterly surveys. An empirical Bayes approach is used as a method for including estimates from previous quarterly surveys to help stabilize the estimate for the current survey. Another approach is to right-censor the very large expanded observations in the nonoverlap sample to produce a censored direct expansion (CDE) estimator. A bias adjustment, formed as the ratio of the DE and CDE sums over the repeated surveys, is applied to the CDE estimator to produce the adjusted censored direct expansion (ACDE) estimator. The empirical Bayes technique is then applied to the ACDE estimates. The empirical Bayes and censored estimates are calculated for total hogs and pigs in the nine quarterly surveys: March 1987-March 1989 from Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio. A bootstrap method is constructed to estimate and compare the biases, standard errors, and root mean square errors (RMSE's) of the various estimators. Only a slight reduction in RMSE resulted from censoring the very large expanded observations in the nonoverlap sample. Application of the empirical Bayes technique to either the DE or the ACDE estimators reduced the average RMSE by about 10% in each of the three states.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A much-needed reference on survey sampling and its applications that presents the latest advances in the field Seeking to show that sampling theory is a living discipline with a very broad scope, this book examines the modern development of the theory of survey sampling and the foundations of survey sampling. It offers readers a critical approach to the subject and discusses putting theory into practice. It also explores the treatment of non-sampling errors featuring a range of topics from the problems of coverage to the treatment of non-response. In addition, the book includes real examples, applications, and a large set of exercises with solutions. Sampling and Estimation from Finite Populations begins with a look at the history of survey sampling. It then offers chapters on: population, sample, and estimation; simple and systematic designs; stratification; sampling with unequal probabilities; balanced sampling; cluster and two-stage sampling; and other topics on sampling, such as spatial sampling, coordination in repeated surveys, and multiple survey frames. The book also includes sections on: post-stratification and calibration on marginal totals; calibration estimation; estimation of complex parameters; variance estimation by linearization; and much more. Provides an up-to-date review of the theory of sampling Discusses the foundation of inference in survey sampling, in particular, the model-based and design-based frameworks Reviews the problems of application of the theory into practice Also deals with the treatment of non sampling errors Sampling and Estimation from Finite Populations is an excellent book for methodologists and researchers in survey agencies and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in social science, statistics, and survey courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the uninformed, surveys appear to be an easy type of research to design and conduct, but when students and professionals delve deeper, they encounter the vast complexities that the range and practice of survey methods present. To complicate matters, technology has rapidly affected the way surveys can be conducted; today, surveys are conducted via cell phone, the Internet, email, interactive voice response, and other technology-based modes. Thus, students, researchers, and professionals need both a comprehensive understanding of these complexities and a revised set of tools to meet the challenges. In conjunction with top survey researchers around the world and with Nielsen Media Research serving as the corporate sponsor, the Encyclopedia of Survey Research Methods presents state-of-the-art information and methodological examples from the field of survey research. Although there are other "how-to" guides and references texts on survey research, none is as comprehensive as this Encyclopedia, and none presents the material in such a focused and approachable manner. With more than 600 entries, this resource uses a Total Survey Error perspective that considers all aspects of possible survey error from a cost-benefit standpoint. Key Features Covers all major facets of survey research methodology, from selecting the sample design and the sampling frame, designing and pretesting the questionnaire, data collection, and data coding, to the thorny issues surrounding diminishing response rates, confidentiality, privacy, informed consent and other ethical issues, data weighting, and data analyses Presents a Reader′s Guide to organize entries around themes or specific topics and easily guide users to areas of interest Offers cross-referenced terms, a brief listing of Further Readings, and stable Web site URLs following most entries The Encyclopedia of Survey Research Methods is specifically written to appeal to beginning, intermediate, and advanced students, practitioners, researchers, consultants, and consumers of survey-based information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five innovative methods of establishing the population characteristics of small areas are introduced and evaluated in this book. Changes in communities can be slow, but recent history has seen huge growth in some areas and depopulation of others. As a result, population estimating has grown up under pressure from legislators and administrators who place a high premium on validity. The contributors to this volume provide ideas that have been tested in practice, anticipate the usual types of error, and are suitable for different purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is commonly used to sample from hard-to-reach populations, such as female sex workers or people who inject drugs, since traditional methods are unable to efficiently survey members due to the typically highly stigmatized nature of the population. Estimating the size of these populations is often desirable so that organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can provide the proper amount of aid. However, due to the nature of RDS, traditional methods of population size estimation do not provide good estimates. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize the data we can collect from these populations, we must develop new population size methods designed specifically for RDS data. In this dissertation, I first explore some of the assumption in RDS using a data set of female sex workers in Kampala, Uganda. This is an exploratory look at the recruitment based on geographical location, with a focus on determining whether the RDS is able to actually reach all areas of the map instead of getting stuck in a certain region, as well as looking at the effects of age on recruitment. Then, I introduce a new method of estimating population size that uses concepts from capture-recapture methods while modeling the RDS as a successive sampling process. This extends a current method of population size estimation based on RDS called Successive Sampling for Population Size Estimation (SS-PSE) to include more than one sample, incorporating the information from a capture-recapture design. I develop the Bayesian framework for the model including posterior sampling with a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Then, using simulation studies, I compare my method with various existing methods in the literature, as well as assessing the frequentist properties of my method.
