Book Review and Software Review: Sampling and Estimation from Finite Populations

Research output: Contribution to journalBook/Film/Article reviewAcademic

Abstract

The book Sampling and Estimation from Finite Populations by Yves Tillé was published by Wiley in
2020 in the series Probability and Statistics. The book constitutes an important reference on survey
sampling and estimation for a wide range of scholars, users, and practitioners, focusing on the
‘representation side’ of the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework (Groves and Lyberg, 2010). The
book contains 16 chapters presenting both classical and modern approaches to survey sampling
and estimation. The main focus of the book is on design-based inference; however, there is also
some discussion on model-based techniques and design-based estimators that use auxiliary
information in survey sampling and estimation. Importantly, it covers also issues on nonresponse,
which, nowadays is a great deal in data collection studies.
