Respondent-Generated Intervals (RGI) For Recall in Sample Surveys

An Overview Of The Respondent-Generated Intervals (RGI) Approach To Sample Surveys

Sample Size Calculations for Population Size Estimation Studies Using Multiplier Methods With Respondent-Driven Sampling Surveys

BACKGROUND While guidance exists for obtaining population size estimates using multiplier methods with respondent-driven sampling surveys, we lack specific guidance for making sample size decisions. OBJECTIVE To guide the design of multiplier method population size estimation studies using respondent-driven sampling surveys to reduce the random error around the estimate obtained. METHODS Th...

Confidence Intervals for Lower Quantiles Based on Two-Sample Scheme

In this paper, a new two-sampling scheme is proposed to construct appropriate confidence intervals for the lower population quantiles. The confidence intervals are determined in the parametric and nonparametric set up and the optimality problem is discussed in each case. Finally, the proposed procedure is illustrated via a real data set. 

Methods for Evaluating Respondent Attrition in Web-Based Surveys

BACKGROUND Electronic surveys are convenient, cost effective, and increasingly popular tools for collecting information. While the online platform allows researchers to recruit and enroll more participants, there is an increased risk of participant dropout in Web-based research. Often, these dropout trends are simply reported, adjusted for, or ignored altogether. OBJECTIVE To propose a concep...
