This book emphasizes that artificial or pseudo-populations play an important role in statistical surveys from finite universes in two manners: firstly, the concept of pseudo-populations may substantially improve users' understanding of various aspects in the sampling theory and survey methodology; an example of this scenario is the Horvitz-Thompson estimator. Secondly, statistical procedures exist in which pseudo-populations actually have to be generated. An example of such a scenario can be found in simulation studies in the field of survey sampling, where close-to-reality pseudo-populations are generated from known sample and population data to form the basis for the simulation process. ...

Reviews for Pseudo-Populations: A Basic Concept in Statistical Surveys
This book attempts to present the theory of sample selection and estimation in the context of sampling from finite populations via a concept called `pseudo-populations'. ... On the whole, this book is a welcome addition to the subject. ... it will serve as a useful reference for graduate students specializing in survey sampling. (Aloke Dey, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2016) ... Read more
