More About This Textbook

Overview

The failure to sample people is a major threat to the statistical inference of surveys. Survey designers spend much effort creating surveys that will reduce the non-response rate. This book is the result of an eight year research program that collected unprecedented data sets on respondents and nonrespondents by matching these groups to the 1990 US census records.

Addresses issues critical to dealing with nonresponse in surveys, reducing nonresponse during survey data collection, and constructing statistical compensations for the effects of nonresponse on key survey estimates. Factors examined include the likelihood of contact, household characteristics, social environment, the interviewer, and householder-interviewer interactions. How survey design affects participation, and practical survey design acknowledging nonresponse are also discussed. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
