Abstract 10.1002/sim.3834.abs Non-response is a problem for most surveys. In the sample design, non-response is often dealt with by setting a target response rate and inflating the sample size so that the desired number of interviews is reached. The decision to stop data collection is based largely on meeting the target response rate. A recent… Continue reading A new stopping rule for surveys

Using proxy measures and other correlates of survey outcomes to adjust for non-response: examples from multiple surveys
Summary.? Non-response weighting is a commonly used method to adjust for bias due to unit non-response in surveys. Theory and simulations show that, to reduce bias effectively without increasing variance, a covariate that is used for non-response weighting adjustment needs to be highly associated with both the response indicator and the survey outcome variable. In… Continue reading Using proxy measures and other correlates of survey outcomes to adjust for non-response: examples from multiple surveys
