Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We live in the information age. Statistical surveys are used every day to determine or evaluate public policy and to make important business decisions. Correct methods for computing the precision of the survey data and for making inferences to the target population are absolutely essential to sound decision making. Now in its second edition, Introduction to Variance Estimation has for more than twenty years provided the definitive account of the theory and methods for correct precision calculations and inference, including examples of modern, complex surveys in which the methods have been used successfully.The book provides instruction on the methods that are vital to data-driven decision making in business, government, and academe. It will appeal to survey statisticians and other scientists engaged in the planning and conduct of survey research, and to those analyzing survey data and charged with extracting compelling information from such data. It will appeal to graduate students and university faculty who are focused on the development of new theory and methods and on the evaluation of alternative methods. Software developers concerned with creating the computer tools necessary to enable sound decision-making will find it essential.Prerequisites include knowledge of the theory and methods of mathematical statistics and graduate coursework in survey statistics. Practical experience with real surveys is a plus and may be traded off against a portion of the requirement for graduate coursework.This second edition reflects shifts in the theory and practice of sample surveys that have occurred since the content of the first edition solidified in the early 1980's. Additional replication type methods appeared during this period and have featured prominently in journal publications. Reflecting these developments, the second edition now includes a new major chapter on the bootstrap method of variance estimation. This edition also includes extensive new material on Taylor series methods, especially as they apply to newer methods of analysis such as logistic regression or the generalized regression estimator. An introductory section on survey weighting has been added. Sections on Hadamard matrices and computer software have been substantially scaled back. Fresh material on these topics is now readily available on the Internet or from commercial sources.Kirk Wolter is a Senior Fellow at NORC, Director of the Center for Excellency in Survey Research, and Professor in the Department of Statistics, University of Chicago. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and a Member of the International Statistical Institute. He is a past president of the International Association of Survey Statisticians and a past chair of the Survey Research Methods Section of the American Statistical Association. During the last 35 years, he has participated in the planning, execution, and analysis of large-scale complex surveys andhas provided instruction in survey statistics both in America and around the world. 464 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The book is organized in a way that emphasizes both the theory and applications of the various variance estimating techniques. Each technique is presented in a separate chapter, and each chapter divided into several main sections. The opening sections deal with the theory and motivation for the particular method of variance estimation. Results are often presented in the form of theorems; proofs are deleted when trivial or when a reference is readily available. The latter sections of each chapter present numerical examples where the particular technique was applied (and perhaps modified) to a real survey. The objectives of this organization format are to provide the student with a firm technical understanding of the methods of variance estimation; to stimulate further research on the various techniques, particularly as they apply to large, complex surveys; and to provide an easy reference for the survey researcher who is faced with the problem of estimating variances for real survey data.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 464 pp. Englisch.…
