Features: This book conducts a systematic study of the theory and methods of sampling surveys from the perspective of "design." The focus is on how to scientifically and reasonably design sampling plans based on the characteristics of the research subjects and the requirements of the research objectives to achieve the highest estimation accuracy with the lowest cost. The main research content includes the design of sampling methods, the design of sampling units, the design of sampling frames, the design of estimation methods, the design of auxiliary variables, the design of sample rotation, the design of multi-topic sampling, the design of sample size, the sampling design for sensitive issue surveys, and the design of questionnaires. Through systematic and comprehensive analysis and research on these issues, the book extracts the ideas and methods of sampling design from a higher level, providing a more systematic and complete theoretical and methodological system for the design of sampling survey plans to guide practical sampling survey work.
