Abstract. The French National Forest Inventory (NFI) employs a two-stage two-phase sampling scheme summarized by the following key steps: first, the territ

Abstract. We consider methods for model-based small area estimation when the number of areas with sampled data is a small fraction of the total areas for w

Abstract. We introduce a method for inference on the composition of a heterogeneous population using survey data, accounting for the possibility that captu

Abstract. Existing methods for small-area data involve a trade-off between maintaining area-level frequentist coverage rates and improving precision via th

Abstract. In probabilistic sampling, a sampling frame comprising the target population may not be available. However, indirect sampling can be used when th

Abstract. Two challenges in small area estimation occur when (i) the sample selection mechanism depends on the outcome variable and (ii) the parameter of i

Abstract. Survey response rates have declined dramatically in recent years, increasing the costs of data collection. Despite this, there is little existing

Abstract. Extensive research suggests that upfront unconditional payments boost response rates compared to a promised payment conditional upon completion.

Abstract. Imputation procedures are frequently used to treat nonresponse. With random hot deck imputation, missing values are replaced by valid observed va
