Information weighted sampling for detecting rare items in finite populations with a focus on security

Hoogstrate, André J.; Klaassen, Chris A.J. - In: European Journal of Operational Research 241 (2015) 3, pp. 880-887

Frequently one has to search within a finite population for a single particular individual or item with a rare characteristic. Whether an item possesses the characteristic can only be determined by close inspection. The availability of additional information about the items in the population...

A new resampling method for sampling designs without replacement: the doubled half bootstrap

Antal, Erika; Tillé, Yves - In: Computational Statistics 29 (2014) 5, pp. 1345-1363

A new and very fast method of bootstrap for sampling without replacement from a finite population is proposed. This method can be used to estimate the variance in sampling with unequal inclusion probabilities and does not require artificial populations or utilization of bootstrap weights. The...

Quota Sampling as an Alternative to Probability Sampling? An Experimental Study

Yang, Keming; Banamah, Ahmad - In: Sociological Research Online 19 (2014) 1, pp. 29-29

In spite of the establishment of probability sampling methods since the 1930s, non-probability sampling methods have … probability samples have led some survey researchers to search for a non-probability sampling method as an alternative to … probability sampling. In this study we aim to test whether results from a quota sample, believed to be the non-probability …

Fast balanced sampling for highly stratified population

Hasler, Caren; Tillé, Yves - In: Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 74 (2014) C, pp. 81-94

Balanced sampling is a very efficient sampling design when the variable of interest is correlated to the auxiliary variables on which the sample is balanced. A procedure to select balanced samples in a stratified population has previously been proposed. Unfortunately, this procedure becomes very...
