Sampling: Design and Analysis

Sampling: Design and Analysis (SDA) is an upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level statistics major textbook that covers the principles of sampling with examples from social sciences, public opinion research, public health, business, agriculture, and ecology. It has been thoroughly revised to incorporate recent research and applications, and includes a new chapter on nonprobability samples. The companion website offers data sets, computer code, and links to two free downloadable supplementary books that provide step-by-step guides for working through the SDA examples.

of sampling with examples from social sciences,public opinion research,public health,business,agriculture,and ecology. Readers should be familiar with concepts from an introductory statistics class including probability and linear regression; optional sections contain statistical theory for readers familiar with mathematical statistics. Coverage includes: Sampling Frame Design Sample Selection Methods Estimation Methods Nonresponse Bias Weighting Methods Analysis of Complex Samples Applications in Social Sciences Public Opinion Research Public Health Business Agriculture Ecology Sampling: Design and Analysis,Third Edition is an essential resource for anyone working in survey research,including social scientists,public opinion researchers,public health professionals,business analysts,agricultural researchers,and ecologists. It will also benefit a non-statistics major with a desire to understand the concepts of sampling from a finite population. A student with patience to delve into the rigor of survey statistics will gain even more from the content that SDA offers. The updates to SDA have potential to enrich traditional survey sampling classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The new discussions of low response rates,non-probability surveys,and internet as a data collection mode hold particular value,as these statistical issues have become increasingly important in survey practice in recent years. I would eagerly adopt the new edition of SDA as the required textbook.
