Nonprobability Sampling and Twitter

open access: yesSocial Science Computer Review, 2017
Twitter data are widely used in the social sciences. The Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) allows researchers to build large databases of user activity efficiently. Despite the potential of Twitter as a data source, less attention has been paid to issues of sampling, and in particular, the implications of different sampling strategies on ...

Use of nonprobability samples for official statistics, state of the art [PDF]

open access: yes
Tightened budgets, continuing decrease of response rates in traditional probability surveys and increasing pressure by users for more timely data, has stimulated research on the use of nonprobability sample data, such as administrative records, web scraping, mobile phone data and voluntary internet surveys, for inference on finite population parameters

A Review of Conceptual Approaches and Empirical Evidence on Probability and Nonprobability Sample Survey Research [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Survey Statistics and Methodology, 2020
There is an ongoing debate in the survey research literature about whether and when probability and nonprobability sample surveys produce accurate estimates of a larger population. Statistical theory provides a justification for confidence in probability

New data strategies: nonprobability sampling, mobile, big data

open access: yesQuality Assurance in Education, 2018
Purpose Researchers now have more ways than ever before to capture information about groups of interest. In many areas, these are augmenting traditional survey approaches – in others, new methods are potential replacements.

Estimating response propensities in nonprobability surveys using machine learning weighted models [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics and Computers in Simulation
Propensity Score Adjustment (PSA) is a widely accepted method to reduce selection bias in nonprobability samples. In this approach, the (unknown) response probability of each individual is estimated in a nonprobability sample, using a reference ...

Bayesian inference for nonprobability samples with nonignorable missingness

Statistical Analysis and Data Mining: The ASA Data Science Journal
AbstractNonprobability samples, especially web survey data, have been available in many different fields. However, nonprobability samples suffer from selection bias, which will yield biased estimates. Moreover, missingness, especially nonignorable missingness, may also be encountered in nonprobability samples.

Domain estimation from weighted nonprobability samples

Statistical Journal of the IAOS
When inferring population characteristics from a nonprobability sample, it is crucial to correct the possible selection bias therein by, for example, pseudo-weighting. Many correction methods focus on estimating the population means of the target variable. However, often the quantities of subpopulations are also of interest.
