Item Recruitment, Participation, and Sampling: Researchers’ Results in General Practice(2011-06-01) Lindsay, Thomas; Sell, AndrewWhile large-scale projects have the resources to ensure best practice, most social science researchers face compromises relating to cost, time, and availability of respondents. We worked with researchers to experimentally test specific approaches to sampling and recruitment. We discuss the results of these tests within the framework of theoretical best practices and expectations.Item Survey sampling and multiple stratifications(2013-09) Zimmerman, Patrick Lennon KendallIn survey sampling, stratied random sampling and post-stratification can increase the precision of estimation. In some cases, however, there may be multiple ways to stratify a population. We present a method, based on a non-informative Bayesian approach, that uses a finite mixture model to incorporate information from each stratification into estimation. This approach works well when the response variable is categorical or discrete,and for some non-response types of problems. We provide the theoretical basis for our method, present some simulation results, discuss various extensions, and define some software that implements the method.
