Integrating Probability and Nonprobability Samples for Survey Inference [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Survey Statistics and Methodology, 2020
Abstract Survey data collection costs have risen to a point where many survey researchers and polling companies are abandoning large, expensive probability-based samples in favor of less expensive nonprobability samples. The empirical literature suggests this strategy may be suboptimal for multiple reasons, among them that probability ...

We need to talk about nonprobability samples [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023
In most circumstances, probability sampling is the only way to ensure unbiased inference about population quantities where a complete census is not possible. As we enter the era of 'big data', however, nonprobability samples, whose sampling mechanisms are unknown, are undergoing a renaissance.

Possible Uses of Nonprobability Sampling for the Social Sciences [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Online Nonprobability Samples

open access: yesAnnual Review of Sociology
Online nonprobability samples provide social scientists with opportunities to conduct surveys and experiments on large, diverse samples at modest prices. Researchers may find bewildering the options offered by the many commercial entities that provide research participants, and our review seeks to orient researchers to key issues about their use.

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 ...
