Weight smoothing for nonprobability surveys [PDF]
Adjustment techniques to mitigate selection bias in nonprobability samples often involve modelling the propensity to participate in the nonprobability sample along with inverse propensity weighting. It is well known that procedures for estimating weights

Integration of Nonprobability and Probability Samples via Survey Weights
Probability sample encounters the problems of increasing cost and nonresponse. The cost has rapidly been increasing in executing a large probability sample survey, and, for some surveys, response rate can be below the 10 percent level.

Weighting Nonprobability and Probability Sample Surveys in Describing Cancer Catchment Areas [PDF]
Background: The Population Health Assessment initiative by NCI sought to enhance cancer centers’ capacity to acquire, aggregate, and integrate data from multiple sources, as well as to plan, coordinate, and enhance catchment area analysis activities ...

Probability vs. Nonprobability Sampling: From the Birth of Survey Sampling to the Present Day
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was an active debate about random selection of units versus purposive selection of groups of units for survey samples.

Selection bias is a serious potential problem for inference about relationships of scientific interest based on samples without well-defined probability sampling mechanisms. Motivated by the potential for selection bias in: (a) estimated relationships of

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

Estimating response propensities in nonprobability surveys using machine learning weighted models
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 probability sample.

Integrating Probability and Nonprobability Samples for Survey Inference [PDF]
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 ...

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