Conference on Current Topics in Survey Sampling

该奖项为将于1997年10月25日至26日在内布拉斯加-林肯大学举行的“调查抽样的当前主题”会议提供部分支助。 抽样调查被普遍认为是收集有关人口资料的有效方法。 由于日益增长的需求，以解决各种设计和方法问题的复杂调查，调查抽样已经发展成为一个广泛的机构的理论，方法和操作在过去的十年。这次会议将能够评估调查中一些重要主题的研究现状，提出许多开放的问题，并促进研究人员之间的合作，以解决这些问题。 调查研究人员将有机会在一个论坛上介绍和传播他们的研究成果，该论坛鼓励来自政府、行业和学术界的研究人员进行互动。 会议还将为从事调查抽样工作的初级研究人员和高级研究生提供激励。

This award provides partial support for a conference on `Current Topics in Survey Sampling,` to be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on 25-26 October 1997. Sample surveys are universally recognized as an efficient method of gathering information regarding populations of interest. Due to a growing demand to solve various design and methodological issues of complex surveys, survey sampling has evolved into an extensive body of theory, methods, and operations over the past decade. This conference will enable an assessment of the current state of research on some of the important topics in surveys, pose many open problems, and foster cooperation among researchers in an effort to solve these problems. Survey researchers will be given an opportunity to present and disseminate their research findings in a forum that encourages interaction among researchers from government, industries, and academia. The conference will also provide a stimulus to junior researchers and advanced graduate students working in survey sampling.
