Functional Calibration under Non-Probability Survey Sampling [PDF]
Non-probability sampling is prevailing in survey sampling, but ignoring its selection bias leads to erroneous inferences. We offer a unified nonparametric calibration method to estimate the sampling weights for a non-probability sample by calibrating functions of auxiliary variables in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space.
