Description

This unit covers statistical survey techniques which are fundamental for the correct application of statistical procedures to the collection and analysis of data. It is concerned with investigations of natural populations and requires a slightly different approach to other areas of Statistics. Students understand the population of interest, decide how to sample that population and which measurements to make on the individuals selected. Population surveys are of great importance to individuals and governments who require the information for policy decisions. The content of the unit was developed in consultation with the Australian Bureau of Statistics and covers a wide range of sampling schemes as well as problems of non-response.
