Mathematics, 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

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

Integration of Nonprobability and Probability Samples via Survey Weights
International Journal of Statistics and Probability, 2021 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. Therefore, statisticians seek some alternative methods.

Estimating General Parameters from Non-Probability Surveys Using Propensity Score Adjustment
Mathematics, 2020 This study introduces a general framework on inference for a general parameter using nonprobability survey data when a probability sample with auxiliary variables, common to both samples, is available.

Blending Probability and Nonprobability Samples with Applications to a Survey of Military Caregivers [PDF]
Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology, 2020 AbstractProbability samples are the preferred method for providing inferences that are generalizable to a larger population. However, in many cases, this approach is unlikely to yield a sample size large enough to produce precise inferences. Our goal here is to improve the efficiency of inferences from a probability sample by combining (or blending) it

Is there an association between survey characteristics and representativeness? A meta-analysis
Survey Research Methods, 2018 How to achieve survey representativeness is a controversially debated issue in the field of survey methodology. Common questions include whether probability-based samples produce more representative data than nonprobability samples, whether the response ...
