Practical Tools for Designing and Weighting Survey Samples de Richard Valliant

Practical Tools for Designing and Weighting Survey Samples: Statistics for Social and Behavioral Sciences, cartea 51

Autor Richard Valliant, Jill A. Dever, Frauke Kreuter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mai 2013
Survey sampling is fundamentally an applied field. The goal in this book is to put an array of tools at the fingertips of practitioners by explaining approaches long used by survey statisticians, illustrating how existing software can be used to solve survey problems, and developing some specialized software where needed. This book serves at least three audiences: (1) Students seeking a more in-depth understanding of applied sampling either through a second semester-long course or by way of a supplementary reference; (2) Survey statisticians searching for practical guidance on how to apply concepts learned in theoretical or applied sampling courses; and (3) Social scientists and other survey practitioners who desire insight into the statistical thinking and steps taken to design, select, and weight random survey samples.
Several survey data sets are used to illustrate how to design samples, to make estimates from complex surveys for use in optimizing the sample allocation, and to calculate weights. Realistic survey projects are used to demonstrate the challenges and provide a context for the solutions. The book covers several topics that either are not included or are dealt with in a limited way in other texts. These areas include: sample size computations for multistage designs; power calculations related to surveys; mathematical programming for sample allocation in a multi-criteria optimization setting; nuts and bolts of area probability sampling; multiphase designs; quality control of survey operations; and statistical software for survey sampling and estimation. An associated R package, PracTools, contains a number of specialized functions for sample size and other calculations. The data sets used in the book are also available in PracTools, so that the reader may replicate the examples or perform further analyses.

Recenzii

“The book is very helpful for researchers, practitioners and all people designing a survey in practice … . The parts at the planning stage of a survey and the important quality control steps are often not mentioned in other textbooks. The abundance of examples helps the reader to understand the whole process. Thus, I can highly recommend this book.” (Siegfried Gabler, Mda Methods, data, analyses, Vol. 9 (1), 2015)
“This is an invaluable reference to the design, implementation, data processing (including weight adjustments), and analysis of population surveys, and quality control and documentation of these processes. The book has a distinctly practical orientation, combining theory and textbook-like material with examples from … population surveys and advice and insight that usually cannot be found in the literature. It extensively uses R packages, SAS macros, and other software. Most chapters are concluded with exercises.” (Nicholas T. Longford, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2014)

“The book is aimed at providing practical aspects of applying sampling and weighting approaches in surveys. It addresses to students as well as to survey and social scientists with basic knowledge of sampling methods. … supportive exercises are provided in each chapter with solutions given in the appendix.” (Iris Burkholder, zbMATH, Vol. 1282, 2014)
