Nonresponse in surveys may effect representativity, and therefore lead to biased estimates. A first step in exploring a possible lack of representativity is to estimate response probabilities. This...

In this paper a general methodology for automatic coding is suggested, which is supposed to be (fairly) general. Characteristic for the approach described in this paper is that each code (say for a...

Since design-based methods like the generalized regression estimator have large design variances in the case of small sample sizes, model-based techniques can be considered as an alternative. In this...

Survey nonresponse occurs when members of a sample cannot or will not participate in the survey. It remains a problem despite the development of statistical methods that aim to reduce nonresponse. In...
