Jolliffe F.R. Survey Design and Analysis

Chichester: Halsted Press, 1986. — 188 p. — ISBN-13 9780470202722. — ISBN-10 0470202726.This book will meet a demand created by the recent increase in the number of social surveys undertaken, and the new emphasis on statistical analysis of surveys by computers; and by a corresponding increase in courses being taught in relevant subject matter.
The book describes statistical aspects of social surveys, covering a combination of topics which will be particularly welcome, drawing them into a single text and saving the need for reference to several separate sources. The subject matter is related throughout the book to data collected in surveys by complex sampling methods, whilst a novel feature is the inclusion of the important topics of models for response errors, foundations of inference, and newer technological developments for collecting survey data. It is an ideal companion text to books covering the more practical aspects of surveys.
The book is self-contained, suitable for all those who have studied the syllabus of an introductory course in statistics, and will be useful both as a
course text and for reference. Written at an intermediate level, it will enable readers to progress easily to more advanced texts. There is a valuable
and extensive list of references to research and other studies.
Readership: Practitioners, researchers, undergraduates and postgraduates in mathematics, statistics, market research, social science, business studies, management science, geography town and country planning, and medical science.
