Sampling and Estimation Course
This course equips you with essential skills for effective sampling and estimation in real-world statistical applications. You will learn to design representative samples, compute optimal sample sizes considering power and design effects, address bias and nonresponse through weighting and calibration, estimate variances under complex survey designs, conduct simulations to validate methods, and report findings with confidence intervals and study limitations for informed data-driven decisions.

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills in designing representative samples, creating solid sampling frames, and selecting from simple random, systematic, stratified, or cluster methods. Master sample size calculations, design effect adjustments, bias and nonresponse mitigation, weighting and calibration techniques, variance estimation for complex designs, simulation runs, and clear reporting of estimates, uncertainties, and limitations.
