متن کاملNonresponse Rates and Nonresponse Bias In Household Surveys
Many surveys of the U.S. household population are experiencing higher refusal rates. Nonresponse can, but need not, induce nonresponse bias in survey estimates. Recent empirical findings illustrate cases when the linkage between nonresponse rates and nonresponse biases is absent. Despite this, professional standards continue to urge high response rates. Statistical expressions of nonresponse bi...
متن کاملSurvey Participation, Nonresponse Bias, Measurement Error Bias, and Total Bias
A common hypothesis about practices to reduce survey nonresponse is that those persons brought into the respondent pool through persuasive efforts may provide data filled with measurement error. Two questions flow from this hypothesis. First, does the mean square error of a statistic increase when sample persons who are less likely to be contacted or cooperate are incorporated into the responde...
متن کاملExploring nonresponse bias in a health survey using neighborhood characteristics.
OBJECTIVES We examined potential nonresponse bias in a large-scale, population-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey in California and its association with the response rate. METHODS We used California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data and US Census data and linked the two data sets at the census tract level. We compared a broad range of neighborhood characteristics of respondents and...
متن کاملAssessing Nonresponse Bias and Measurement Error Using Statistical Matching
The estimation of nonresponse bias and measurement error share the problem of usually not having a criterion to assess the quality of the estimate. Nonresponse bias analysis often uses responders within the survey sample who are in some way similar to nonresponders to estimate the potential bias. This depends on the variables within the survey being related to both the likelihood of responding ...
