- Summary
- This text treats both classical and modern sampling design and estimation methods, along with sampling methods for rare, clustered, and hard-to-detect populations. This second edition includes descriptions of new developments in the field, a wider range of approaches to common problems, historical notes, and increased coverage of adjusting for nonsampling errors, the use of link-tracing designs, and of methods combining design and model-based approaches. Material is updated to show how sampling methods function in such fields as the biological, environmental, social, and health sciences, and with new material on sampling the Internet. Thompson teaches statistics at the Pennsylvania State University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
