Sampling and Estimation Course
This course equips you with essential techniques for effective sampling and estimation in statistical practice. You will learn to create representative samples, compute optimal sample sizes considering power and design effects, address bias and nonresponse through weighting and calibration, estimate variances accurately under complex survey designs, conduct simulations to evaluate performance, and communicate findings with confidence intervals and limitations for informed data-driven decisions.
