Klappentext Since publication of the first edition in 1992! the field of survey sampling has grown considerably. This new edition of Survey Sampling: Theory and Methods has been updated to include the latest research and the newest methods. The authors have undertaken the daunting task of surveying the sampling literature of the past few decades to provide an outstanding research reference. Starting with the unified theory! the authors explain in the clearest of terms the subsequent developments. In fact! even the most modern innovations of survey sampling! both methodological and theoretical! have found a place in this concise volume. The book includes many techniques not covered adequately in most textbooks. Zusammenfassung The field of survey sampling has grown considerably. This work covers the modern innovations of survey sampling, both methodological and theoretical.
