Sampling Bias in Population Studies
Modiied versions of the life time distribution are often used in survival analysis. The modi-cations depend on how we choose individuals for the study and on the assumptions on the behavior of the population. A rigorous point process description of the Lexis diagram is used to make the sampling mechanisms and the preconditions transparent. The point process description gives a framework to hand...
متن کاملCut-off Sampling Design: Take all, Take Some, and Take None
Extended Abstract. Sampling is the process of selecting units (e.g., people, organizations) from a population of interest so that by studying the sample we may fairly generalize our results back to the population from which they were chosen. To draw a sample from the underlying population, a variety of sampling methods can be employed, individually or in combination. Cut-off sampling is a pr...
متن کاملthe effectiveness of strategy-based instruction in teaching english as a second or foreign language: a meta-analysis of experimental studies
a large number of single research studies on the effects of strategy-based instruction (sbi) in teaching english as a foreign or second language has been conducted so far. however, the lack of a comprehensive meta-analysis targeting the effectiveness of english language sbi is observed. moreover, the findings of experimental studies regarding the context of the english language, proficiency lev...
Bias in Ecological Regression
Bias formulae are derived for ecological regression estimators. These formulae are useful for determining the direction and magnitude of bias in estimation. It is shown that when group cohesion is higher in areas with higher concentrations of group members and when polarization is higher in more homogeneous areas, ecological regression estimates of polarization will tend to be biased upward. Bo...
