| Practical Tools for Designing and Weighting Survey Samples — Continuing Education Course | |||
| ASA , Survey Research Methods Section | |||
| Instructor(s): Richard Valliant, University of Michigan and University of Maryland, Frauke Kreuter, University of Maryland, Jill Dever, RTI International | |||
| A familiar complaint that students have on finishing a class in applied sampling or in sampling theory is: "I still don't really understand how to design a sample." Students learn a lot of isolated tools or techniques but do not have the ability to put them all together to design a sample from start to finish. One of the main goals of this short course and the associated textbook is to give students, new survey statisticians, and other survey practitioners a taste of what it is involved in designing and weighting single- and multi-stage samples in the real world. This includes devising a sampling plan from sometimes incomplete information; deciding on a sample size given a specified budget; allocating the sample to the strata and stages of the design given a set of constraints; and constructing efficient analysis weights. Our goal will be accomplished during the course through discussions of actual case studies and hands-on exercises involving the use of computer software. | |||
