Purpose: This study examines the quick switching sampling (QSS) system. This well-established sampling scheme incorporates two single sampling plans (SSPs) with adaptive transition rules between normal and tightened inspections. The QSS system dynamically adjusts inspection stringency in...

Purpose: This research proposed dependent sampling plan incorporating mixed acceptance criteria for entrance quality control of corn kernels, a primary material in the feed manufacturing industry. Mathematical models are involved to determine the alternative samplin plan based on allowable risk...

This paper provides details on the sampling design, the fieldwork, as well as nonresponse and population adjustments for the 2024 sample M10 of the IAB-SOEP-Migration survey. The survey is conducted in cooperation between the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and the Socio-Economic Panel...

Sample S is the 2024 refreshment sample of the SOEP-Core. We applied a stratified two-stage cluster sampling design to draw a sample of anchor persons from the German population register. The sample adds 5,314 new households to the panel. Potential selectivity in participation is corrected by...

Purpose - We propose a method to build confidence sets for the solutions of stochastic discrete optimization problems solved through the sample average approximation method. Design/methodology/approach - By combining the concept of Model Confidence Set (MCS) with shrinkage estimation of large...

This report provides details on the sampling design, the fieldwork, as well as nonresponse and population adjustments for the 2024 sample M8d of the IAB-SOEP-Migration Survey. The survey is conducted in cooperation between the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and the Socio-Economic Panel...
