Subsequent chapters present current theories and methods that enable survey researchers to skillfully account for nonresponse in their research. Exploring the latest developments in the field, the book also features:An introduction to the R-indicator as an indicator of survey quality Discussion of the different causes of nonresponseExtensive treatment of the selection and use of auxiliary informationBest practices for re-approaching nonrespondents.An overview of advanced nonresponse correction techniquesCoverage of adaptive survey designThroughout the book, the treatment of each topic is presented in a uniform fashion. Following an introduction, each chapter presents the key theories and formulas underlying the topic and then illustrates common applications. Discussion concludes with a summary of the main concepts as well as a glossary of key terms and a set of exercises that allows readers to test their comprehension of the presented material. Examples using real survey data are provided, and a related website features additional data sets, which can be easily analyzed using Stata® or SPSS® software.
