Advanced Topics in Survey Sampling — Continuing Education Course
ASA , Section on Survey Research Methods
Instructor(s): Jae-kwang Kim, Iowa State University, Wayne Fuller, Iowa State University
The basic theory for survey sampling is well established and is presented in a number of textbooks, but most texts cover the material at an intermediate level. The proposed course is designed for researchers and practitioners interested in advanced techniques and the theory underlying those techniques. The topics include asymptotic theory in survey sampling, optimality in estimation and design, and use of models with survey samples. Understanding advanced theory in these areas is important for the design and analysis of complex large-scale surveys and for development of rigorous statistical theory relevant to sample surveys. Participants should have a background in survey sampling and in statistical theory. Recent graduates working in survey sampling and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.
