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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters focus on estimation methods, sampling techniques, nonresponse, questioning designs and statistical disclosure control\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a valuable reference in understanding the importance of the pseudo-population concept andapplying it in teaching and research.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319352800\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-11785-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 138\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45937865719948,"sku":"9783319352800","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319352800.jpg?v=1776003958","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319352800","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
