6. Extensions of Respondent-Driven Sampling: Analyzing Continuous Variables and Controlling for Differential Recruitment
Abstract
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a network-based method for sampling hidden and hard-to-reach populations that has been shown to produce asymptotically unbiased population estimates when its assumptions are satisfied. This includes resolving a major concern regarding bias in chain-referral samples—that is, producing a population estimate that is independent of the seeds (initial subjects) with which sampling began. However, RDS estimates are limited to nominal variables, and one of the assumptions required for the proof of lack of bias is the absence of differential recruitment. One aim of this paper is to analyze the role of differential recruitment, quantify the bias it produces, and propose a new estimator that controls for it. The second aim is to extend RDS so that it can be employed to analyze continuous variables in a manner that controls for differential recruitment. The third aim is to describe means for carrying out multivariate analyses using RDS data. The analyses employ data from an RDS sample of 264 jazz musicians in the greater New York metropolitan area, taken in 2002.

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.
