Comment: Struggles with Survey Weighting and Regression Modeling
This is an intriguing paper that raises important questions, and I feel privileged for being invited to discuss it. The paper deals with a very basic problem of sample surveys: how to weight the survey data in order to estimate finite population quantities of interest like means, differences of means or regression coefficients. The paper focuses for the most part on the common estimator of a po...
متن کاملComment: Struggles with Survey Weighting and Regression Modeling
In the ideal samples of survey sampling textbooks, weights are the inverses of the inclusion probabilities for the units. But nonresponse and undercoverage occur, and survey statisticians try to compensate for the resulting bias by adjusting the sampling weights. There has been much debate about when and whether weights should be used in analyses, and how they should be constructed. Professor G...

I appreciate the opportunity to comment on Andrew Gelman’s interesting paper. As an admirer of Gelman’s work, it is a pleasure to read his take on the topic of survey weighting, which I have always found fascinating. Since I support Gelman’s general approach, I focus on reinforcing some points in the article and commenting on some of the modeling issues he raises. As a student of statistics, I ...
متن کاملComment: Struggles with Survey Weighting and Regression Modeling
We congratulate the author on an informative and thought-provoking discussion on a topic of broad interest to the statistics community: the fitting of models to data collected through complex surveys. The number of papers written on this topic, whether from a model-based or design-based perspective, is substantial and goes back at least to Konijn (1962). This topic has led to some disagreements...
متن کاملComment: Struggles with Survey Weighting and Regression Modeling
Andrew Gelman’s article “Struggles with survey weighting and regression modeling” addresses the question of what approach analysts should use to produce estimates (and associated estimates of variability) based on sample survey data. Gelman starts by asserting that survey weighting is a “mess.” While we agree that incorporation of the survey design for regression remains challenging, with impor...
