Abstract:

We discuss high dimensional and large scale inference procedures under various survey distortions, systematic and non-ignorable non-responses and drop-outs, using a bag-of-little-bootstraps and penalization-based approach. We present a scheme for inference with biased survey data. Our methods may be used for studying how probabilities of rare events may be linked to explanatory variables even in biased data. We present several theoretical results, and illustrate the proposed methodology on data on political conflicts gathered from multiple federal agencies.
