Suitable for graduate students and researchers in many fields, this book has become the classic reference for a model-assisted approach to sampling theory. It provides a comprehensive account of survey sampling theory and methodology. A central theme is to show how statistical modeling is a vital component of the sampling process and in the choice of estimation technique. The book covers classical topics as well as areas where significant new developments have taken place notably domain estimation, variance estimation, methods for handling nonresponse, models for measurement error, and the analysis of survey data.
