The basic theory for survey sampling is well established and 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, regression estimation, optimality in estimation and design, and use of models with survey samples. Participants should have a background in survey sampling and statistical theory. Recent graduates working in survey sampling and graduate students are encouraged to attend. The book Sampling Statistics (2009) by Wayne Fuller is the text for the course.
