Undervisnings- og arbejdsform

The lectures will present the main points of survey sampling and discuss sources of errors. Properties of estimators will be derived. To give the participants insights into the practical work with survey sampling, one or two practitioners will be invited to describe how they conduct a survey. The exercises consist of problem solving. The program PcGive will be used for estimation of probit and logit models.
