    Description:

    Dual frame telephone surveys are becoming common in the U.S. because of the incompleteness of the landline frame as people transition to cell phones. This article examines nonsampling errors in dual frame telephone surveys. Even though nonsampling errors are ignored in much of the dual frame literature, we find that under some conditions substantial biases may arise in dual frame telephone surveys due to these errors. We specifically explore biases due to nonresponse and measurement error in these telephone surveys. To reduce the bias resulting from these errors, we propose dual frame sampling and weighting methods. The compositing factor for combining the estimates from the two frames is shown to play an important role in reducing nonresponse bias.

  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X200800010952
    Description:

    In a survey where results were estimated by simple averages, we will compare the effect on the results of a follow-up among non-respondents, and weighting based on the last ten percents of the respondents. The data used are collected from a Survey of Living Conditions among Immigrants in Norway that was carried out in 2006.

  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X20040018735
    Description:

    This paper describes analyses on nonresponse among ethnic minorities in the Netherlands. These analyses show that the response effect is mediated by the degree of urbanisation. A negative impact is observed among ethnic minorities.

    Description:

    Census counts are known to be inexact based on comparisons of Census and Post Enumeration Survey (PES) figures. In Italy, the role of municipal administrations is crucial for both Census and PES field operations. In this paper we analyze the impact of municipality on Italian Census undercount rates by modeling data from the PES as well as from other sources using Poisson regression trees and hierarchical Poisson models. The Poisson regression trees cluster municipalities into homogeneous groups. The hierarchical Poisson models can be considered as tools for Small Area estimation.

  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016275
    Description:

    This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.

    Hot deck imputation, in which missing items are replaced with values from respondents, is often used in survey sampling. A model supporting such procedures is the model in which response probabilities are assumed equal within imputation cells. In this paper, an efficient version of hot deck imputation is described, as are the variance of the efficient version derived under the cell response model and an approximation to the fully efficient procedure in which a small number of values are imputed for each non-respondent, respectively. Variance estimation procedures are presented and illustrated in a Monte Carlo study.

    Description:

    A randomized response model for sampling from dichotomous populations is developed in this paper. The model permits the use of continuous randomization and multiple trials per respondent. The special case of randomization with normal distributions is considered, and a computer simulation of such a sampling procedure is presented as an initial exploration into the effects such a scheme has on the amount of information in the sample. A portable electronic device is discussed which would implement the presented model. The results of a study taken, using the electronic randomizing device, is presented. The results show that randomized response sampling is a superior technique to direct questioning for at least some sensitive questions.
