A unique feature of the book is that a large number of exercises with real sets of data from various fields is included either as illustrative examples to demonstrate the method of analysis or unsolved problems to be attempted by the reader so as to make concepts and procedures more clear so the survey statisticians may use it as a ready reference in formulating their projects. A good number of research papers, cited in references at the end of each chapter, is an added attraction of this book.
Thus the work will serve as a ready reference manual for statisticians to project planning and data analysis, and as a text book for graduate students offering a course on sample surveys at advanced undergraduate or graduate levels in Statistics, Business Management, Economics, Sociology, and Agricultural Sciences.
Some of the important general features of the book are (i) to give a systematic exposition of existing theory; (ii) to extend its application to field data; and (iii) to provide further references of the work done in the recent past. Almost all of important developments which are considered useful in survey programme are included in the work. Because Sampling Theory is meant to be used in practice, recourse has been taken to demonstrate the application of sampling techniques with the help of actual data from different surveys conducted in India during the recent past. It brings within its compass a number of new results which are published in text book form for the first time.
Mathematical treatments are presented and derived in a very lucid, simple and concise manner and text is made easily comprehensive to the readers having elementary knowledge of algebra, probability and inference. ISBN -9780852269107
