Possible Uses of Nonprobability Sampling for the Social Sciences

open access: green, 2019
This paper compares the usability of data stemming from probability sampling with data stemming from nonprobability sampling. It develops six research scenarios that differ in their research goals and assumptions about the data generating process.

Data integration with nonprobability sample: Semiparametric model‐assisted approach [PDF]

open access: bronzeScandinavian Journal of Statistics
Abstract This paper introduces a novel semiparametric model‐assisted estimation method that integrates data from both probability and nonprobability samples, thereby facilitating robust and efficient inferences regarding finite population parameters.

Combining Probability and Nonprobability Samples on an Aggregated Level

open access: diamondJournal of Official Statistics
Probability surveys are experiencing important drawbacks nowadays: costs are relatively high and participation rates are decreasing, which could yield less accurate estimates. Alternatively, nonprobability samples like administrative records are having a rise in popularity due to their convenience and low costs.

Comparing Probability-Based Surveys and Nonprobability Online Panel Surveys in Australia: A Total Survey Error Perspective

open access: yesSurvey Research Methods, 2022
In this paper we report the findings from our study which was undertaken to learn if the findings of Chang et al. (2009), Yeager et al. (2011), Erens et al. (2014), MacInnis et al. (2018) and Cornesse et al. (2020) would be replicated in Australia.

Methods to Counter Self-Selection Bias in Estimations of the Distribution Function and Quantiles

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Many surveys are performed using non-probability methods such as web surveys, social networks surveys, or opt-in panels. The estimates made from these data sources are usually biased and must be adjusted to make them representative of the target ...

On the Use of Gradient Boosting Methods to Improve the Estimation with Data Obtained with Self-Selection Procedures

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
In the last years, web surveys have established themselves as one of the main methods in empirical research. However, the effect of coverage and selection bias in such surveys has undercut their utility for statistical inference in finite populations. To

Inference from Non-Probability Surveys with Statistical Matching and Propensity Score Adjustment Using Modern Prediction Techniques

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Online surveys are increasingly common in social and health studies, as they provide fast and inexpensive results in comparison to traditional ones. However, these surveys often work with biased samples, as the data collection is often non-probabilistic ...
