Sampling and Estimation Course
This course equips you with essential skills for effective sampling and estimation in real-world statistics. You will learn to create representative samples, compute sample sizes and power, address bias and nonresponse issues, and construct reliable confidence intervals for complex survey designs to support data-driven decisions in Ghanaian and global contexts.
