Sampling Methodologies: With Applications
Poduri S.R.S. Rao
Most of the available texts on the subject are either quite advanced and theoretical or too applied, descriptive, and lacking statistical results. Sampling Methodologies with Applications offers a balanced, practical treatment of the techniques and applications of the commonly used procedures for sampling from finite populations. It keeps mathematics to a minimum, but does not avoid them entirely. In an easily followed, step-by-step presentation, the author motivates each topic with illustrations followed by examples and exercises. All of these are constructed from everyday, practical situations covering a wide variety of topics.
