Instructor(s): Jon N.K. Rao, Carleton University, Sharon Lohr, Arizona State University
This two-day course will be an introduction to and appraisal of recent developments in sample survey methods. Several topics of practical interest will be covered: survey design and inferential issues, analysis of survey data with emphasis on re-sampling methods, design and estimation in dual frame surveys, variance estimation under imputation for missing data, small area estimation. Applications of the methods in U.S. and Canadian surveys and evaluations of software packages for survey data will also be presented. Prerequisite knowledge is a basic course in survey sampling at the level of W. G. Cochran's 1977 book Sampling Techniques or S. Lohr's 1999 book Sampling: Design and Analysis. Exposure to basic courses in mathematical statistics and linear models will also be helpful but are not essential.
