Abstract
Survey statisticians have been dealing with the issues of nonresponse in sample
surveys for many years. Due to the complex nature of the mechanism, so far it has not
been easy to find a general solution to this problem. In this paper, several aspects of
this topic will be elaborated on: the survey unit nonresponse bias has been examined
alternatively by taking response amounts which are fixed initially and also by taking
the response amounts as random variables. An overview of the components of the bias due
to nonresponse will be performed. Nonresponse bias components are illustrated for each
alternative approach and the amount of bias was computed for each case.
期刊介绍:
Statistics in Transition (SiT) is an international journal published jointly by the Polish Statistical Association (PTS) and the Central Statistical Office of Poland (CSO/GUS), which sponsors this publication. Launched in 1993, it was issued twice a year until 2006; since then it appears - under a slightly changed title, Statistics in Transition new series - three times a year; and after 2013 as a regular quarterly journal." The journal provides a forum for exchange of ideas and experience amongst members of international community of statisticians, data producers and users, including researchers, teachers, policy makers and the general public. Its initially dominating focus on statistical issues pertinent to transition from centrally planned to a market-oriented economy has gradually been extended to embracing statistical problems related to development and modernization of the system of public (official) statistics, in general.
