A DYNAMIC SURVIVAL MODELING APPROACH TO THE PREDICTION OF WEB SURVEY BREAKOFF
Respondents who break off from a web survey prior to completing it are a prevalent problem in data collection. To prevent breakoff bias, it is crucial to keep as many diverse respondents in a web survey as possible. As a first step of preventing breakoffs, this study aims to understand breakoff and the associated response behavior. We analyze data from an annual online survey using dynamic survival models and ROC analyses. We find that breakoff risks between respondents using mobile devices versus PCs do not differ at the beginning of the questionnaire, but the risk for mobile device users increases as the survey progresses. Very fast respondents as well as respondents with changing response times both have a higher risk of quitting the questionnaire, compared to respondents with slower and steady response times. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of these findings for future practice and research in web survey methodology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology, sponsored by AAPOR and the American Statistical Association, began publishing in 2013. Its objective is to publish cutting edge scholarly articles on statistical and methodological issues for sample surveys, censuses, administrative record systems, and other related data. It aims to be the flagship journal for research on survey statistics and methodology. Topics of interest include survey sample design, statistical inference, nonresponse, measurement error, the effects of modes of data collection, paradata and responsive survey design, combining data from multiple sources, record linkage, disclosure limitation, and other issues in survey statistics and methodology. The journal publishes both theoretical and applied papers, provided the theory is motivated by an important applied problem and the applied papers report on research that contributes generalizable knowledge to the field. Review papers are also welcomed. Papers on a broad range of surveys are encouraged, including (but not limited to) surveys concerning business, economics, marketing research, social science, environment, epidemiology, biostatistics and official statistics. The journal has three sections. The Survey Statistics section presents papers on innovative sampling procedures, imputation, weighting, measures of uncertainty, small area inference, new methods of analysis, and other statistical issues related to surveys. The Survey Methodology section presents papers that focus on methodological research, including methodological experiments, methods of data collection and use of paradata. The Applications section contains papers involving innovative applications of methods and providing practical contributions and guidance, and/or significant new findings.
