Survey sampling

This is designed to be a simple book on sampling methods, with emphasis on and illustrations from surveys of human populations. Sampling plays a vital role in research design involving human populations; it commands increasing attention from social scientists and practitioners. This book not only includes the disciplines of economics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science, but also the professions of public health, biostatistics, education, social work, public administration, and business administration. Sampling problems are equally material to practitioners engaged in marketing, commerce and industry.
