Features: This book includes many practical methods, combining the "art of self-creation" in sampling with its scientific aspects. Those valuable tricks can only be learned through an apprenticeship. Perhaps the main task of any book or course in terms of methodology should be to significantly shorten the apprenticeship period in that subject. The book is divided into four parts, with the main content including Preface, Basic Principles of Sampling Surveys, Introduction, Basic Concepts of Sampling, Stratified Sampling, Systematic Sampling; Stratification Techniques, Cluster Sampling and Subsampling, Unequal Clusters (Unequal-Sized Groups), Probability Sampling Proportional to Size Measure, Economic Design of Surveys; Part Two: Special Issues and Techniques, Area Sampling, Multi-Stage Sampling, Sampling from Incomplete Sampling Frames, Special Sampling Methods; Part Three: Related Concepts, Bias and Non-Sampling Error, Some Issues in Survey Data Inference.
