Lessler was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and grew up on a farm in Iredell County, North Carolina. Klappentext Focuses on three areas of nonsampling survey errors: frame, nonresponse and measurement error. Each one is analyzed by defining key terms, formulating known effects and examining suggested remedies. Also, the terminology related to each source of error is reviewed while historically tracing the major contributions to the literature. Zusammenfassung An overview of the survey method of statistical analysis! which explores three main areas of nonsampling survey error: non-response in obtaining data from sample members! problems with the sampling frame and inadequacies in the process of obtaining survey measures from respondents.
