Secondly, statistical procedures exist in which pseudo-populations actually have to be generated. An example of such a scenario can be found in simulation studies in the field of survey sampling, where close-to-reality pseudo-populations are generated from known sample and population data to form the basis for the simulation process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters focus on estimation methods, sampling techniques, nonresponse, questioning designs and statistical disclosure control\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a valuable reference in understanding the importance of the pseudo-population concept and applying it in teaching and research.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492425146741,"sku":"9783319117843","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783319117843.jpg?v=1786529266","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/pseudo-populations","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
