Chapter 8 discusses two-stage cluster sampling. Two-stage sampling involves estimating the population parameters using samples taken from subsamples of elements within the clusters. The major discussion points are equaland unequal-size rst-stage units and estimation of their means, standard deviations, and proportions. Ratios and ratio estimators are discussed in Chapter 9. The major discussion points are estimation of the mean, total, and proportion; sample size determination; con dence intervals; ratio estimations versus strati cation; and bias reduction. Regression estimation is discussed in Chapter 10. The chapter begins with a brief discussion on the basic concepts of regression. The rest of the chapter is devoted to the use of regression in survey sampling. Topics include regression estimation versus strati cation, multiple regression estimators, and doublesampling regression estimators. Chapter 11 covers nonresponse and remedies. Topics include unit nonresponses, item nonresponses, response rates, estimations of mean, standard deviations and proportions with nonresponses, poststrati cation, and weighting and imputation. Chapter 12 is devoted to three additional topics of interest in sample surveys: linearization, estimation of the population parameters for small sample sizes and estimation methods for complex surveys. The author does an outstanding job describing and discussing the most commonly used techniques and procedures in sample surveys for nite populations. The examples used to illustrate the various concepts are good for readers with some understanding of sample surveys, but probably would not enlighten those individuals trying to gain a grasp of the eld of sample survey. Sampling Methodologies With Applications belongs on the bookshelf of those working in the eld of sample surveys, but I do not recommend it for those just starting in the eld or trying to develop their own sample surveys.
