Topics in Survey Sampling 1 edition

"This book provides a review of topics in survey sampling that have not been covered in detail in other books and indicates new research areas. These topics include different modifications of Bayes procedures such as linear Bayes, constrained Bayes, Bayesian robustness under a class of contaminated priors, and their applications in survey sampling.

The design-based and model-based strategies for finite population variance, finite population distribution function, inference in survey sampling under measurement error models, and calibration estimation techniques are discussed in detail.".

"Current investigations on the selected topics have been included, and the ideas have been lucidly explained and supplemented by numerous examples and exercises. The target audience is advanced graduate students and other researchers in survey statistics. The book assumes a knowledge of standard topics in survey sampling at the master's level and a training in mathematical statistics."--BOOK JACKET.
