Abstract:
|
It is said that a well-designed survey can best prevent nonresponse. However, no matter how well a survey is designed, in practice, nonresponse almost always occurs. The easiest way to deal with nonresponse is to ignore it, but frequently, ignoring nonresponse results in poor survey quality. Item nonresponse and unit nonresponse are two types of nonresponse. Imputation procedures are commonly used to compensate for the former while weighting methods are popular remedies for the later. This paper focuses on weighting methods that help reduce nonresponse bias.
