JSM 2017 - Survey Research Methods Section Combining Probability and Non-Probability Samples Using Small Area Estimation 1 1 1 1 N. Ganesh , Vicki Pineau , Adrijo Chakraborty , J. Michael Dennis 1 NORC at the University of Chicago, 4350 East-West Highway, Suite 800, Bethesda, MD 20814 Abstract Given the high cost associated with probability samples, there is increasing demand for combining larger non-probability samples with probability samples to increase sample size for low incidence studies and/or key analytic subgroups. Given bias and coverage error inherent in non-probability samples, use of traditional weighted survey estimators for data from such surveys may not be ...
What is a Quantity Surveyor (QS)? A quantity surveyor (QS) is a professional working within the construction industry concerned with building costs. Traditionally referred to as a Professional Quantity Surveyor or Private Practice Quantity Surveyor they are broadly concerned with contracts and costs on construction projects.
