Survey Design and Analysis

Multilevel calibration weighting for survey data

A pressing challenge in modern survey research is to find calibration weights when covariates are high dimensional and especially when interactions between variables are important...

Sensitivity Analysis for Survey Weights

Survey weighting allows researchers to account for bias in survey samples, due to unit nonresponse or convenience sampling, using measured demographic covariates. Unfortunately, in practice, it is impossible...

Target Estimation and Adjustment Weighting for Survey Nonresponse and Sampling Bias

We elaborate a general workflow of weighting-based survey inference, decomposing it into two main tasks....

A kernel balancing approach for reducing specification assumptions in survey weighting

Response rates to surveys have declined precipitously. Some researchers have responded by relying more heavily on convenience-based internet samples. This leaves researchers asking...

Accounting for Complex Survey Designs: Strategies for Post-stratification and Weighting of Internet Surveys

This chapter focuses on methods for analyzing data from Internet surveys with complex survey designs in order to draw inferences that can be generalized to a target population of interest...

Target Selection as Variable Selection: Using the Lasso to Select Auxiliary Vectors for the Construction of Survey Weights

Survey nonresponse is a ubiquitous problem in modern survey research. As individuals have become less likely to respond to surveys there has been a simultaneous rise in highly granular data sources...
