Models for Nonresponse in Sample Surveys
Abstract
The literature on the analysis of incomplete data using models is reviewed in the context of nonresponse in sample surveys. The modeling approach provides a large body of methods for handling unit and item nonresponse, some of which cannot be derived from the randomization theory of inference for surveys. Key concepts from the literature on incomplete data, such as factorizations of the likelihood for special data patterns, the EM algorithm for general data patterns, and ignorability of the response mechanism, are discussed within the survey context. Model-based procedures are related to common methods for handling nonresponse in surveys, such as weighting or imputation of means within subclasses of the population.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
