Summary note

"Now in its third edition, this sampling text continues to provide a readable, practical treatment of the subject. Keeping the mathematics to a minimum, it walks the reader through real-world sample surveys - from sampling designs to problems of missing data and nonresponse to estimation procedures. This expanded and updated edition reflects the many developments in the field since the publication of the Second Edition, including the latest methods of multistage sampling, analysis of sample survey data, and software manipulation."--Jacket.
