Bayesian Methods for Finite Population Sampling by Malay Ghosh (Alcon Laboratories, Forth Worth, Texas, USA)


Summary

Finite population sampling has recently been considered from a Bayesian perspective. Though the computational difficulties of the processes have limited their use, this text argues that Bayesian ideas should play a more significant role in the theory and practice of finite population sampling.

Bayesian Methods for Finite Population Sampling Summary

Bayesian Methods for Finite Population Sampling by Malay Ghosh (Alcon Laboratories, Forth Worth, Texas, USA)

Assuming a basic knowledge of the frequentist approach to finite population sampling, Bayesian Methods for Finite Population Sampling describes Bayesian and predictive approaches to inferential problems with an emphasis on the likelihood principle. The authors demonstrate that a variety of levels of prior information can be used in survey sampling in a Bayesian manner. Situations considered range from a noninformative Bayesian justification of standard frequentist methods when the only prior information available is the belief in the exchangeability of the units to a full-fledged Bayesian model. Intended primarily for graduate students and researchers in finite population sampling, this book will also be of interest to statisticians who use sampling and lecturers and researchers in general statistics and biostatistics.
