Now in its fourth edition, this popular sampling text is expanded
and updated to incorporate the latest methods of multistage
sampling, analysis of sample survey data, software manipulation,
and other recent developments such as disclosure analysis and small
area estimation.

- It guides the reader through real-world sample surveys clearly
explaining how to create effective surveys and to analyze the
information gathered.

- Illustrative examples detailing how statistical analysis can be
performed by means of software designed specifically for analysis
of sample survey data (SAS, SPSS, SUDDAN among them) have been
woven throughout the text.

With its comprehensive presentation and wealth of relevant
examples, Sampling of Populations, Fourth Edition is an
ideal book for courses on survey sampling at the
upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also a valuable
reference for practicing statisticians who would like to refresh
their knowledge of sampling techniques.
