84609 - METODI DI CAMPIONAMENTO

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student knows how to manage complex sampling plans. She/he will be able to plan complex surveys and to analyze data with advanced statistical tools, to assess and communicate the uncertainty on the obtained estimates.

Course contents

First part  (Prof. Daniela Cocchi) the program is valid for the course 84609 - METODI DI CAMPIONAMENTO - 6 cfu)

 

Sampling in finite populations: the frame. Population and sample. Samping plans and the random variables that manage the selection.

Inference in complex units of any dimension. Role of the intraclass correlation coefficient. Inference for cmplex units selected with varying probaility. Ratio and regression adjustment in sampling complex units. Approximated properties of ratio and regression estimators seen from the residuals.

Small area estimation (also in logical domains)

Finite population inference as a predictive problem and superpopulation models.

 

Multistage sampling: (The students of the course  84609 - METODI DI CAMPIONAMENTO (6 cfu) are requested to deepen the theoretical part. Students of the  I module of the course METODI DI CAMPIONAMENTO E INDAGINI CAMPIONARIE are not requested to know proofs)
