Analysis of survey data: [ ... Conference on "Analysis of Survey Data" held in Southampton in August 1999]

Recent years have seen a sharp increase in the application of sophisticated statistical modelling methods to sample survey data. Analysis of Survey Data aims to provide a solid basis for the statistical theory underpinning these applications. This book brings together two key statistical traditions, statistical modelling - such as regression analysis - and sample survey methods, as used for sample design and estimation
