Last update: T_KPMS (12.05.2014)
Requirements to the exam -

To successfully pass the exam, students must master the material covered in lectures, especially the following areas:

Basic concepts and definitions in the field of sample surveys

Estimation methods for totals and means under various sampling designs (simple, Poisson, rejection, sequential, systematic, area, multi-stage)

Methods for estimating the error of estimates for totals and means

Asymptotic properties of estimators

Ratio estimators

Sample representativeness and weighting algorithms

The exam is oral. Students must demonstrate an understanding of the topics and the ability to derive basic relationships presented in the lectures. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications, especially in public opinion research.

Syllabus -

1. Basic concepts: Population, sampling frame. population vs. sampling total and mean.

2. Simple random sampling without replacement.

3. Systematic sampling.

4. Sampling with unequal probabilities - Poisson sampling and its modifications.

5. Stratified sampling and optimal allocation.

6. Model assisted estimation - ratio and regression estimators, calibration model.

7. Cluster and two-stage sampling.

8. Nonresponse.

Last update: T_KPMS (12.05.2014)
Entry requirements -

The basics of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics based on the first year of Master Program. Notions: probability distribution, distribution characteristics, conditional expectation and variance. Further it is assumed the knowledge of the basics of R or Python environment with respect to the data exploration - basic objects, regression analysis, exploratory analysis (Box-whisker plots, histograms, ...).
