Learn how representative samples and random samples differ and why combining them minimizes sampling bias for accurate data.
Many techniques in survey sampling depend on the possession of information about an auxiliary variable x, or a vector of auxiliary variables, available for the entire population. Regression estimates ...
The problem of estimating the variance of the ratio estimator in sampling with probability proportional to aggregate size is investigated. The form of nonnegative unbiased variance estimators is found ...
If you specify the option METHOD=PPS_SYS, PROC SURVEYSELECT selects units by systematic random sampling with probability proportional to size. Systematic sampling selects units at a fixed interval ...
