暫譯: 初級抽樣調查，第七版

Features
1.Bridges the gap between classroom and practice in two significant ways: First, select sections on weights in unequal probability sampling. Then, they expanded the treatment of nonresponse in Chapter 11, including the use of imputation as a technique for handling some types of nonresponse.
2.Emphasizes two cutting-edge sampling techniques: the bootstrap, a modern technique for establishing margins of error and confidence intervals in complex designs, and an adaptive sampling technique for improving estimates while the field work is in progress.
3.Utilizes detailed simulations: Key statistical concepts are demonstrated using step-by-step simulations.
