Sampling Algorithms

January 28, 2011 Posted by

Over the last few decades, important progresses in the methods of sampling have been achieved. This book draws up an inventory of new methods that can be useful for selecting samples. Forty-six sampling methods are described in the framework of general theory. The algorithms are described rigorously, which allows implementing directly the described methods. This book is aimed at experienced statisticians who are familiar with the theory of survey sampling.From the reviews:pAs well as containing much new material, the book succeeds in providing a systematic development for what often seems a collection of isolated and ad hoc methods. A.J.
