An Evaluation Of A Large-Scale Cati Household Survey Using Random Digit Dialling, Don Bennett, David Steel Jun 2013

An Evaluation Of A Large-Scale Cati Household Survey Using Random Digit Dialling, Don Bennett, David Steel

Professor David Steel

omputer-assisted telephone interviewing and random digit dialling are increasingly being used to conduct household surveys in Australia. However, there is little published information concerning Australian experience with such surveys. In 1995 the Government Statistician's Office in Queensland conducted a household survey to study population migration using these techniques. The survey involved a sample of 110 000 telephone numbers resulting in 38 000 responding households. This article describes a computerized survey management system that was developed and which provided information concerning important operational and quality aspects of the survey.


Restricted Quasi-Score Estimating Functions For Sample Survey Data, Yan Lin, David Steel, Raymond Chambers Jun 2013

Restricted Quasi-Score Estimating Functions For Sample Survey Data, Yan Lin, David Steel, Raymond Chambers

Professor David Steel

This paper applies the theory of the quasi-likelihood method to model-based inference for sample surveys. Currently, much of the theory related to sample surveys is based on the theory of maximum likelihood. The maximum likelihood approach is available only when the full probability structure of the survey data is known. However, this knowledge is rarely available in practice. Based on central limit theory, statisticians are often willing to accept the assumption that data have, say, a normal probability structure. However, such an assumption may not be reasonable in many situations in which sample surveys are used. We establish a framework …
