Survey Sampling

ECTS : 2.5
Hours:
18h
Language of instruction: English
Planning: 9h30-11h30 during 6 weeks -0 15/09 - 22/09 - 29/09 - 06/10 - 13/10 - 20/10
Mode of delivery: Hybrid
Prerequisites: Probability and Statistics as taught in the first year of Master in Econometrics and Statistics
Assessment: The final grade is divided in 3 parts:
- 2 points out of 20 on a small midterm exam (10-15 minutes exam on the lecture notes)
- 10 points out of 20 on a final exam at the end of the course (2 hours with no document and with
some questions on the course and exercises)
- 8 points out of 20 on the final project (report and oral defense) at the end of the course.
Description and Learning Outcomes: For most students this course is the first course on survey sampling and so we expect that the students will learn the basics of survey sampling which includes:
-the understanding of the different possible sources of errors in surveys,
-the understanding of the inference under the sampling design which differs from the usual inference in statistics,
-the knowledge of the basic sampling designs in order to draw a sample from a population in a probabilistic way, including the simple random sampling without replacement, the Bernoulli sampling and the stratified sampling design with different types of allocation,
-the knowledge of the basic methods of estimation which includes the Horvitz-Thompson estimator and some calibration methods.
The students are expected to understand the different notions by using some lectures notes, solving some exercises and implementing the methods with the softwares R or SAS on some real data sets.
More advanced methods in survey sampling will be covered at the end of the course through a project based learning approach. Students (in groups of 2 students) will choose a topic of interest among several modern topics in survey sampling. Some references will be provided and the students are expected to write a report and make an oral defense in order to present the project to the other students.
