Abstract:
|
Facebook is partnering with the University of Maryland (UMD) Joint Program in Survey Methodology (JPSM) and the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Delphi Research Center to support COVID-19 research. Facebook invites its users in more than 200 countries or territories globally to take a survey hosted and collected by either CMU Delphi (US-only) or UMD JPSM (globally). As part of this initiative, we apply best practices from survey statistics to design and execute two components: (1) sampling design and (2) survey weights, which make the sample more representative of the general population. This talk describes the methods we use in these efforts in order to allow data users to execute their analyses using the weights.
