Developing Sampling Weights for Complex Surveys

The fundamental theory of sampling is simple, but the practices of sampling can be surprisingly complex given the realities faced by the sampling designers at the daily bases. This book documents how the author and her colleagues addressed the challenges encountered in their student health survey project. Those challenges rooted from the ethnical, geological, and economical diversity of the lone-star state of Texas. The solutions presented by the author will surely serve as a exciting and helpful reference to those many survey designers.
