Praise for the Second Edition

"This book has never had a competitor. It is the only book that
takes a broad approach to sampling . . . any good personal
statistics library should include a copy of this book."

--Technometrics

"Well-written . . . an excellent book on an important subject.
Highly recommended."

--Choice

"An ideal reference for scientific researchers and other
professionals who use sampling."

--Zentralblatt Math

Features new developments in the field combined with all
aspects of obtaining, interpreting, and using sample data

Sampling provides an up-to-date treatment of both
classical and modern sampling design and estimation methods, along
with sampling methods for rare, clustered, and hard-to-detect
populations. This Third Edition retains the general organization of
the two previous editions, but incorporates extensive new
material--sections, exercises, and examples--throughout.
Inside, readers will find all-new approaches to explain the various
techniques in the book; new figures to assist in better visualizing
and comprehending underlying concepts such as the different
sampling strategies; computing notes for sample selection,
calculation of estimates, and simulations; and more.

Organized into six sections, the book covers basic sampling,
from simple random to unequal probability sampling; the use of
auxiliary data with ratio and regression estimation; sufficient
data, model, and design in practical sampling; useful designs such
as stratified, cluster and systematic, multistage, double and
network sampling; detectability methods for elusive populations;
spatial sampling; and adaptive sampling designs.

Featuring a broad range of topics, Sampling, Third
Edition serves as a valuable reference on useful sampling and
estimation methods for researchers in various fields of study,
including biostatistics, ecology, and the health sciences. The book
is also ideal for courses on statistical sampling at the
upper-undergraduate and graduate levels.
