| Use of models for estimation from survey samples is becoming progressively more important. Practitioners must understand how to efficiently use available data to both increase precision and correct potential bias due to declining response rates. This course will provide an overview of the use of models to design efficient samples and improve estimators through the use of auxiliary data. We will compare design-based and model-based estimation and discuss the integrated approach of model-assisted estimation. This course will cover the types of auxiliary information typically available in samples of business establishments, institutions, and households; models that may be appropriate; use of models in determining sample designs and creating estimators; and software with particular emphasis on packages available in R. Participants will receive a topic-specific list of references to use for follow-up reading. | ||
