Description
Survey sampling provides a timely and cost-effective means of extrapolating information about an entire population from data based on a smaller group. Now in its third edition, this popular sampling text is expanded and updated to incorporate the latest methods of multistage sampling, analysis of sample survey data, software manipulation, and other recent developments. It guides the reader through real-world sample surveys-from sampling designs, to problems of missing data and nonresponse, to estimation procedures-clearly explaining how to create effective surveys and analyze the information gathered.
