In most surveys, the risk of nonresponse is a factor taken into account at the planning stage. Commonly, resources are set aside for a follow-up procedure which aims at reducing the nonresponse rate. However, we should pay attention to the effect of nonresponse, rather than the nonresponse rate...

When sampling from a finite population the access to a good samplingcframe is of vital importance. However, the statistician often has to confront the problem of estimation in the face of non-negligible frame imperfections, e.g. overcoverage and undercoverage. In this paper we <p> discuss different...</p>

When sampling from a finite population the access to a good sampling frame is of vital importance. However, the statistician often has to face the problem with non-negligible frame imperfections, e.g. overcoverage and undercoverage. More so, error from nonresponse is an increasing problem in...
